So I sold my might-never-gave-any-problem 07 and bought an 06.
It had 29k miles and now at 33k and already giving me problems.
When people tell me VW has so many problems with the car, I am quick to say no, it is very reliable. But not this time.
The AIrbag light came up about a month ago and I mostly ignored the issue. Maybe 2-3 daya after the airbag light incident, I found out the AC isnt blowing cold air. I took it to the AUtuning for an oil change and asked about the airbag and ac issues but no fault for ac was found (they said I would need to replace the ignitor for the side airbag).
I got the ac leak tested and fre-on filled up but still no cold air. The mech is now pointing his figers at the compressor (~$700).
What could be the issue here?
I dont hear the “compressor”? Runnung when I turn on the ac but is it really a bad compressor? Or another stupid sensor or wiring, electrical issue?
How can I test it before dropping ~$1000 to have AC?
/rant
Thanks
