Hello!

With the Heat we are experiencing in these days in Italy (more than 30º) I decided to use the the aircon, as last Summer it was really wonderful BUT with my surprise it doesn’t work!

I thought there was no gas in the tank but test said there was; I also put new from the beginning but nothing changed: Skoda mechanic told me he doesn’t hear the compressor starting.

Thinking to the works I made on the car, I realized I replaced the climatronic panel with the one with heated seats and since then I didn’t use the aircon.

I also made a soft reset (aircon + front vents buttons pressed with ignition on and car not started), I heard the flaps moving, but nothing changed!

I also read I need to coding ait again via OBDELEVEN (it’s necessary after a front panel/compressor are replaced) but I don’t have anyone close to me who has it.

Any other suggestion meanwhile?

Normally when folks say their aircon isn't working I direct them here https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/skoda-world/innovation-and-technology/technology/10-tips-on-how-to-use-air-conditioning-properly/

That generally fixes it but it sounds like that isn't your issue!

No it’s not! 😭

Quote 'Skoda mechanic says he doesn't hear compressor starting' is a little concerning - the A/C compressor does not 'start' because it is permanently driven unless the drive shear plate has failed.

I'd take a close look at what was done during the changes to the climatronic panel.
