Hi I've just had a cambelt and water pump changed with an airbag wiring loom replacement and some front suspension work done, but my car has came back with no ac. I was told the work is nothing to do with the problem and i needed a regas but my gas is at the correct levels and it was fully working before it went in.  I'm not sure how to reapproach skoda. I've been told the ac is belt driven and in the area of the cambelt. could anyone advise if this is correct please. 

 

Thanks in advance

The belt location is correct.

 

Ask for a scan/check of the A/C if you believe it no longer functions since they carried out work on the car, it's possible the wiring has been disturbed so an interrogation will show if anything is wrong.

 

If the scan shows low gas, consider how old/fragile the system could be to nearby disturbances etc. and have a leak test.

hi thankyou for your help.  I have had a leak test and  pressure is perfect  but it does not kick in at all so maybe could be due to the wiring, as airbag wiring was redone too.  I didnt want to go back to them to be fobbed off again.

One of the ac pumps fitted to mkiis had issues with the pulley nut coming loose and also shear plate issues meaning no drive to the ac pump so something else to look at.

On my Octavia mk2 FL, that was the issue. 

Was not sure if it also needed a re-gas so took it to auto air con, Dublin and they sorted out the pulley nut and an AC service for €150.
