Recently purchased my first MK5 Golf gti 05 and have straight away run into air con issues - after only owning the car for six weeks air conditioning packed up in true style on the hottest day of the year.
Took it to VW garage who diagnosed the problem being a digital air pressure sensor switch, spoke to a air con specialist who said he will be able to replace it for £110 including parts + labour and considering VW wanted to charge £290 for it I parted with £110 and was expecting freezing cold air blowing my way after the replacement.
Unfortuantely the guy who replaced the sensor said he believes it is sensor and compressor and changing the sensor and re-doing the gas did not work.
Now I have been back to VW to say they diagnosed the issue incorrectly and they dont want to help or return my calls.
So logically I have started to look around for a replacement air compressor and they seem to range from £85 - £335 and reading through various forums some seem to suggest not to buy VW compressors as they have an inherent issue with them and to go for other makes.
So help please what's the best way forward here.....
