Why is my air-con blowing hot?
I noticed my air con was blowing hot air so yesterday I took it to a "specialist" who pressure tested and re-gassed it but it was still not getting cold.
He then plugged it into his computer which I got charged for and the result was there is no electrical faults. His diagnosis was there may be a block in the system somewhere and he would have to replace bit by bit to find the problem which would be very expensive! There must be a easier and cheaper way to find the problem? The compressor works - the pressure gauge on his machine was going too high then the compressor cuts out?

Reads to me that the electromagnetic clutch of the pump has failed.

Stunning looking and practical executive estate. At its best with quattro 4WD and the excellent 3.0 TDI engine.
