From memory when I replaced the compressor on mine, the compressor mounts to the isolation frame with three mini 'shocks'. Essentially, it's a rubber T-shaped grommet and a spring, and held in place with a bolt. The isolation frame is then bolted to the car with another four bolts. So far as the mechanic fitting it wrong, unless he left out the springs or the grommets, I can't see how it could be fitted wrong.

Reading through the previous posts, is it possible to get it scanned again to see if you're still getting the over temperature code, as I'm wondering if this is why the other options are greying out, and that although the compressor is giving you the 16 bar output, maybe there is still another leak somewhere.

Finally, others including Neil suggested getting the fuse and relay replaced. Do you know if this was ever done for definite, as it's standard practice to replace both when replacing the compressor, irrespective of their condition, and it's not the hardest job to do... just lift up the passenger footwell carpet, remove a piece of moulded polystyrene and replace them.
