Hi guys ive got a problem with my climatronic everytime i put it onto (on) the engine revs starting pulsing massivly looked under the bonnet and the aux drive belt is slipping with every pulse

any ideas what the problem is?

the aircon is working nice and cold and blowing strongly

help!

maybe the tensioner on the aux belt is knackered.... or the air con pump has an issue.....

aircon pump siezing?

I'd stop using it until you get it inspected and some maybe some fresh oil in it.

Whereabouts are you?

It's cold up here and the air con shouldn't work below 5 degC.

Hi the air con is working its over 5 degrees do you think i should take it to an aircon specialist or my normal garage?

I would go for an aircon specialist so that they can check over the system.

Here is an update tested the fault codes and brings up the " Positioning Motor for Temperature Flap v68" intermitent fault

ive also noticed that the 2 main fans at the front dont seem to be turning at all any suggestions checked fuse on top of battery all ok

The two main fans do you mean the radiator fans?

They are only supposed to come on when the coolant temp gets up to about 100 degrees c. Take the car for a bit of a drive then leave it idling for five minutes and the cooling fans should come on briefly then turn off again.

neither of the radiator fans come on at all full stop just taken it too a specialist he had a brief look and checked gas etc the aircon isnt coming on at all now

so booked in to be checked out next week. im hoping its a relay

aircon does *not* work at temps of 5 deg and lower on the VAG cars, so remember that just incase it is cold when the aircon chap looks at the car.

The air con has packed up completely now and the radiator fan definately does not come on when its left idling, tried to test the fan sensor but couldnt get the connector off!

booked into a vw specialist on thursday hope they can sort it!

just an update vw "specialist" told me there was not enough gas in the system so got kwik fit to regas cost me nothing as he has said the pump is broken!

is there anyway to know for sure? and how easy a job is it?

cheers for your help guys

Where are you based, maybe we can recommend somewhere.

im in cornwall

here is another update replaced the pump and the drier. Today had it regassed and it still doesnt work. the fans should be running when the aircon is on and they arent

im going to replace the radiator thermo switch to see if that helps anyone got any other suggestions?

bump

I'm not guaranteeing that they'll be able to fix it, but if you're anywhere near St. Agnes, or don't mind driving - call RK Engineering on 01872 553839. Very knowledgeable guys and if they can't fix it, they know a lot of people locally.

hi okenobi thanks for your reply ive used those guys before always had great service im trying to save some money by narrowing down what it could be

will book it in if i cant figure it out
