As above fellas! Had the usual checks done, been on vagcom and it shows no faults! system has lots of gas in! compressor spins nice but clutch wont engage! checked fuses ect! aircon button lights, seems to me like no power to compressor?? is there a way to put power to it to check it? Summers on its way and need it badly!

Thanks for any advice chaps:thumbup:

Anyone????

Pleeeeease!!!!!

Why dont you join freedom and post in the ask a tech section.

You might get a better response then

Have you got a multimeter? if so check to see if you have 12 volts there !

as to see if the clutch is working, disconect the wires from the compressor and connect two wires from there and connect to the battery, this should get it to work, if it does there should be a pressure switch some where on the system,so you need to check if this is not faulty.

also you say "system has lots of gas" how do you know?

Fabia vRS? If so it has no clutch just friction material between the pulley and compressor, mine went the same and it was a new compressor required unfortunatly.

If you did a search you might have found it

Firstly thanks for the reply:thumbup:

RE: the gas! I bought one of those kits from halfords with a gauge on and it states high pressure! in fact it went onto the red zone! wich two wires do i connect together?

Thanks again!

Mine did exactly the same during the fault finding, into the "danger, see professional" area. Have a good look at the compressor pulley for spidery bits of plastic and see the post above!

Cheers pal:thumbup: will have a look if it ever stops raining!
