air con problem

[23mjh]

hi everyone ,hopefully someone can help me before i drive my car into a wall! my air con aint working,ive checked all the fuses had it regased but it still doesnt blow cold, the fans come on the revs drop but no cold air, ive had the bumper off to check for leaks but it all seems ok , any suggestions would be great many thanks

Does it need re-gassing?


EDIT - Ignore me, just read your post and see you've had it gassed.

thx for the reply ive had it regased

I'm not 100% sure on the compenents of our Air con systems, but i'd assume there will be a compressor in the system, ususally its belt driven and attatched to the engine... This could be your problem?

cheers m8 ill look into that,ive read that there is a module that controls the fans ,aircon and secoundary waterpump can anybody confirm this because my waterpump is also not working but i thought it was a seperate problem .I have shareware vag com but i cant work out how to scan air con components ??

you can....
1)get it smoke tested for leaks
2)check the pump
3) my favourite option, rip it out

theres defo no leaks green die would av been everywhere ad ultra violet light on it, how would i know if da pump is failin ? rippin it out aint an option lol its 2 frickin hot without it, gotta drive 2 glasto nxt week n im bound to get stuck in traffic

well when i had a small aircon problem no power was getting to my compressor... and the revs did not drop when i turned the A/C button on. which makes me think it may not be the compressor as you said when u switch ur A/C on ur revs drop.. get it checked by someone?

Take it to a ac specialist, my money would be on the condenser tbh (£300)

secoundary waterpump fixed the wire had a split half way up one down one to go,it could be da condenser but lookin at an auto data printout for our ac unit n it could be anythin but ill keep every1 informed thx ppl

OK have read above thread and a couple of others. Air con has never worked since i had car.
Have had it re-gassed, no joy, my fuse on top of battery was melted so i replaced and cleaned unit.
When i turn AC on the engine note changes so compressor/pump IS kicking in but still does'nt cool?
Have inspected pipes that i can see and looks ok, any ideas peeps?
