Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I have just had this very same problem  - air con stopped blowing cold air so booked into VW for their Air Con Service for £65 and crossed my fingers as I'm now out of warranty!!!

VW guy comes back after 30/40 mins and says it the compresser and its not cheap !! in fact £1022 not cheap!     I mention this is a known problem  - no it isnt he replies - I then hit him with the TSB I saw mentioned on the very thread.

He looks something up on his screen and acknowledges it is a known problem on all pre 2008 models - he then disappears for 5 mins - he then comes back with the news that he may get a VW contribution as its a known problem - great I think.

He then asks when it was last serviced  - I say a couple of months ago by an Independent Specialist  - but a FVWSH whilst under warranty - in that case he says the VW contribution offer no longer applies  !!!  WTF! 

So does anyone know where I can resolve this and get my air con up and running without a remortgage!!!

mines just out of warranty (06) and VW and (the stealer) tried to rob me of £1700 because of a broken compressor.

i refused to pay and they have decided to fix it next week, my car has only done 19k miles and had 3 services.

Compressor problem is a well known fault. Got mine done under warranty last year (2 yrs old). Don't pay up otherwise :wink:

Surely if it's a known fault, and they have admitted as much, then being serviced by a main stealer or respected Indy wouldn't change that fact, I would take up direct with vw dealer sounds a prick. Kind of worrying for me since I'm taking mine to it's first Indy soon for service, cambelt, dsg service, aircon refresh, brake fluid change etc. 

If I'm Reading the bulletin correctly this is for gti's 06-07 only....

If the car was serviced following VW guidelines and parts, "customers' cars are serviced and repaired to manufacturer-approved standards" following the Block Exemption Rule, VW should consider your claim. :smiley:

Did they try and regas it first? Or did they just decide that the compressor was Fubar?

Mines booked in for next week. Will let you guys know what happens.
