Achorex

I don't know if it is all the same thing. I have a 1.6 Octavia and I have noticed that if the water is ever so slightly low that light comes on and most times you only need to add less than a cup of coolant/water. It might however indicate a leak in the cooling system. With mine it was what the garage called "water connector" mine has 2 an inner one and the outer one I guess

Hello Greg, I hope you are still there. I checked and the rim, centre clutch and shaft are all turning. I had noticed a little whistling sound which my technician said was coming from the expansion valave but didn't seem to think anything was wrong with that. I decided to add some gas and at first it cooled better but then it seems to have gone back to usual and now the whistling noise is louder and I seem to think it has too much gas. I want to take it to a technician but need to know what could be wrong first

Thanks Greg. The Airconditioner actually works but just not as cold as I am used to. I like your advice about getting it gassed up and a dye leak check. One question though - How is the dye leak check performed Achorex

My Skoda Octavia 1.6 Airconditioning suddenly stopped cooling well. Took it to the local service and was told the gas was low and maybe a leak in the evaporator. The technician never opened the evaporator so I am a bit weary. Any ideas
