ECON turns the aircon OFF, its on by default on non uk GTIs' . ECON stands for ECONOMY.

i think....

yea i know. I have tried it switched on and off. On Low, 16, 16.5 and nothing but hot air pumps out.

[SteveS]

it pumps out hot air even when on "low"? then its fooked! lol

If it's not had much use it may just need a service and re-gas. Not too expensive, around the £50 mark and there are usually mobile guys that will come to you.

Hope so. Im skint at the mo!

Yes you need to have it re-gas'd, you should use your aircon regular as it will deteriorate the seals in the pump unit if you dont,and will more likely loose gas pressure through lack of use, i run mine daily just for 5 mins and then shut it down or put it onto economy setting.

Hi

Mine stopped working last week it didn’t make any funny noises just wouldn’t blow cold.

Took it to the dealers and the pulley had sheered off the compressor cost £1200 in parts alone luckily warranty covered it.

The air con pump is constantly running (albeit very slowly even when "off") to prevent this.
