Ac issues on a 99 beetle |
|
Ok, my wifes beetle has not had a working AC since early last year. She wasn't worried about it so I let it go untill now.
I checked to see if the compressor kicked on and it did not. However I remember reading someplace that if the system is completly emtpy of freon it was designed not to come on? I also checked the fuses ontop of the batt, all of which looked fine.
My bro had a spare can of AC booster laying around and he brought it up this afternoon. I followed the directions on the can and none of the freon seemed to exit the can. However when I checked the dash vents, the temp seemed to get cool and then warm again, but never cold!
Is there anything else I should check?
thanks

if the Freon is below there will be no A/C clutch kick in.
you need to have it checked to see if there is enough Freon in it first.
topping off is not recomended on new VW.
