Hi guys,
I have a 2005 SEAT Alhambra 130 ASZ 1.9tdi now on 55k miles. The aircon suddenly stopped blowing cold air yesterday. I have seen a few articles on the internet but the more I read, the more I am getting mixed up. I know the clutch is not engaging because I looked under the bonnet and saw that it was not engaged with Lo selected. Has anyone had a similar experience before...and how the problem was resolved. I am at my wits end as I do long journeys only and couldn't really do without a/c. Thanks.

Update: It turned out that it was recharging that was needed. Took it in to F1 Autocentre near me today and now it's maybe as good as it was when I first had the car, new. It took all of eighty minutes to recharge. The last time, in 2014, I took the car to Kwikfit and it did not take even half the time. Hhmmmmm?

But, all good now (fingers crossed).
