apparantly there is a drain for the aircon that can become clogged and hinder aircon performance funny thing is no mention of it in the haynes :confused: i saw something about this on a vag forum.

Passenger side bulk head behind the soundproofing, you may be able to see its exit from inside the car within the passenger footwell.

R134a is not as ozone depleting as the previously used R12, it does have more of a tendency to diffuse to atmosphere through shrunk seals due to lack of use. It is dangerous in that it can cause frostbite, is toxic and should not be vented to the atmosphere.

the only thing to get clogged up is filter under pass glove box,will cause winscreen to mist up and fan to sound slow,but air con is sealed sys with 1 highside valve and 1 lowside valve,if used reg should be ok,but can loose gas over time/less use,normaly just needs a little top up,cheap to do any air con specalist will keep you right there hope this helps ps[i normaly charge
