Title: Anyone had an AC Service
Post by: MAW73 on 09 August 2011, 21:12
My Dealer rang me telling me my car was due an AC service (My cars done 27K and is a Jul 59).

Anyone else had this done? They are charging £79.

Tell them to FO!! mine is an 09 plate and I've not been told it needs an AC service.  £79 sounds a bit excessive anyway, I am just about done with VW and their OTT pricing structure.

Yes I've read this before you don't use the same dealer as garboy1 do you?

Air conditioning service? (http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?122817-Air-conditioning-service)

Hi looking for some advice my Golf 1.6 TDI SE is coming up to 2 years old I recieved a call from the local dealer saying my car was due an air conditioning service. Now the question is I have owned 2 previous new VW's and the AC was never serviced at 2 years or any other car I have had. I was told it was £79 and if I didnt do it this would affect my warranty if for example if the AC compressor packed up. Does anyone know what the service consists of ? Re-gas, changing of seals etc. In my experience if it is blowing cold air leave it alone ?
any advice on whether to get it done ?
By the way this is not included in the £250 service package I paid for. A bit of a shock when I thought this is all I needed to pay for 3 years motoring !


It shouldn't need a service after 2 years you generally loose about 10-15% each year?

My previous Golf (Mk5) had the service at 2 years and there was a noticable improvement, much cooler. £79 is the standard price
