Aircon issue

[matbloke]

Hello all.

I'm new here and to owner clubs in general, so be gentle please 😉

So I have just purchased a 2011 Tdi non quattro. The second hand dealer recharged the aircon before pick up and all seemed fine. Now when I try and activate it, instead of illuminating green I just get a red light whilst the button is depressed.

As I'm no mechanic I'm hoping someone may be able to tell me to make a check on something hear or there as the garage may have missed something???

If not is there a blow by blow to check the system myself?? 

In the hope someone may help.

 

Cheers

If you bought it less than 30 days ago then you can get the dealer to fix it. You could get a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. It could be a failed compressor so expect an expensive bill if so.

Thanks for that Steve, appreciated. I'll let you know how I get on....
