So the air con has stopped working on our Alhambra.

When flicking to Auto there is no clonk like there used to be as it engaged, there can be the slightest variation in revs but no clonk. When watching under the bonnet with it on Econ the centre of the pulley remains still, when switched to Auto the centre spins.

When compared to my Golf there is a very obvious clink as you engaged and disengage.

Seems there are a few problems reported with the air con on an Alhambra - condensor failure ( Although I would think this would manifest itself as a leak and no gas pressure ) No error codes reported on the diagnotics tool either.

I suspect it's the compressor?

Thoughts folks?

if the centre spins when switched to auto then the clutch in the compressor is engaging, probably just needs a top up!
