Replacement Air Con Compressor
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:07 pm
Hi
New to here but hope you can help. Bought a Scirocco GT 2.0 tdi ( 170 ) in Jan.
Had a few issues with the car which have now been fixed after a lot of hard work with VW but still have a problem with the air con after VW did air con service.
The air con just does not seem to get cold, had an independent check it for me and they said the gas levels were right but it looked like the compressor may have expired. Checked my warranty and Air con is not covered. Spoke to VA this morning and they were saying around £ 1000 to £ 1400.
Been looking about and seen that you can get a compressor for around £ 250 to £ 350. Seen a Denso one but wondered if anyone else had had the same problem and wondered what they bought ?
