Whilst my car is having a service I have asked that the air conditioning is recharged.

 

He has done this but says there is still a fault. 

 

Previously I had an error code showing (using Carista) odb2 

 

Heater & air conditioning
Part #: 3T0907044AR
Component: Climatronic 
Coding: 0000000002 (hex)
Fault codes:
9481988 Manufacturer-specific code

 

Has anyone ever come across this and what might it be?

What did the guy who recharged the system say the fault was?

 

Was the service / air con regass done at a franchised main dealer or independent?

 

The car really needs to be scanned using VCDS rather than Carista so that you can cross reference the fault code here...

"Manufacturer specific code" could be anything, so it means you actually need a VAG specific code reader.

This part number is for control panel. £700+

Ouch on the control panel.

 

The Mechanic is an independent but a good one I have used for years.  He does a lot of VAG cars.  He has the correct reader and I am awaiting his return (he offers a good service he even picks the car up and drops it off afterwards).  

 

l will see what he says.

A quick Google of the error code number followed by VCDS brought up this

Air quality sensor that feeds the CC system with info. Could be a cheaper fix than the panel. Need someone with VCDS to give it a full scan.

The control panel part number is listed because that's the control unit, not because it's the fault.

An air quality sensor (if fitted) isn't going to stop the AC from working. It just shuts the air recirculation flap.
