D2 Aircon valve?
 
Hi all.

My aircon isnt working, the Pump dose not come on and its getting a bit like summer.

Dose anybody know were the location of the LOW pres. valve is in the system?

Any help would be great.

Three possible answers here,

Does the clutch engage when you switch between economy mode and normal?
Is the system pressured?
Could the pump be U/S?

VagCom can test the clutch working if you have access to it.

Quick fit do an aircon service whereby if they can't reduce the temperature by 10% or more you get it free. Give them a try first which will bowl out under pressure if it works after they have finished

The clutch dose not engage when I go from econ to normal.

I know the A/C has a pres switch on it to protect the pump if the pres is to low, but if I cant find the LOW pres valve I cant see how I can check the pres.?

I did have VAGCOM till I dropped my laptop a week ago. I will have to try and steal a mate laptop to check the clutch.

Cheers for your help Conan (the Librarian).
