My Air conditioning light wouldn't stay on. This will happen when temperatures dip but this was summer time, I clearly had an aircon fault in my car.
This video looks at how I diagnosed the problem and how I ended up paying over £1000 to fix it.
Although intended as a guide to VW group air condition, ie SEAT, SKODA, Audi and VW it still applies to many other cars out there from BMW, Ford and Peugeot to Mercedes who all employ similar designs and setups and share these typical problems.
I highlight some of the common areas and problems in air conditioning systems that can cause low refrigerant pressure and stop your air conditioning working.
I'll take you through step by step on how I got this issue sorted and repaired my air conditioning.
This certainly applies to VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat and other VAG group cars, but most other manufacturers airconditioning works in a similar way so you can get some tips and helpful repair tips and advice from this video.
We look at diagnostics, tests on the aircon system from using a dye to detect leaks, to vacuum tests, and which parts will typically need replacing in an older car with air conditioning problems.
