So recently i discovered that my AC gets really hot when on 26, but when i turn it to 22, it gets really cold and there's no difference from 22-18 degress, so it's basically 18 when it's turned to 22.. Would a recharge do it or is my ac unit just old and broken? It's a 1P 1,9 TDI with the old AC unit with the 3 knobs that's not automatic.

Thanks

I had the same problem with mine but I had either cold or hot and no in between. Turned out my condenser had a hole from a possible stone chip and was leaking gas. Had it replaced and re-gassed and now it works fine with temperatures back to normal.

Fuel for thought if your could be a similar situation.

Yeah that's it. Hopefully you can see the shiny new one on mine.
