Just had my golf in to get checked, it is indeed compressor failure. From VW a £1200 Job, thankfully I still had warranty! In it goes this thursday to get fixed

The guy at the service desk said the compressor was £500 to buy alone! The remaining £700 was the labour price! Rip off

Just got the car back. I now have a brand new air conditioning compressor, saved myself £1200! Fresh fresh conditioned air! The guy working at the service desk was even encouraging me to keep modding my car haa. Bad influence

I had two compressors replaced by vw for the same issue in my mk6 GT TDI.

In the end I got rid because I still had a metallic noise when the ac was on!
