Can any pone please direct me to the AC relay or fuse location that controls the ac compressor. Have looked on www and owners hand book but no luck. Thanks

You might want to put that in the specific vehicle thread since it will vary and how to get at the fuses. The Altea one was in the fuse box under the dash with a clip panel. Many fuse boxes they hide under the drop down glove box on RHD vehicles these days with a degree of fumbling to get the damperners off to get glove box door to drop further down. Old ploy of not moving the cars wiring from right to left for RHD so it stays on the left but get hidden behind the glove box on RHD. Other have a side panel as you open the door. Think that's the one they did pre hiding them behind the glove box. Will be linked to platform so all cars on the same Vag platform have the fusebox for the consumer stuff in the same location whether, Skoda, Seat, VW. How we found out where the Ateca one was. Tarraco is the same. At that stage the manual wouldn't tell you. A non consumer thing.

The A.C. fuse will be about 20 amps. If it's an older model fuse location will be documented in the manual and fuses. More recently they think you don't need to know and getting the glove box down if it's behind there requires finger dexterity. There are youtube videos.

In the past posted up the Altea ones. Generally not a good idea to pull fuses at random certainly not under the hood if you don't want airbag errors warnings brought up. Go from the documentation. I've been there with the airbag one. You don't touch that one without disconnecting the battery or you are into clearing the fault code as half the system stays active and generates the error.
