Diagnosing Seat Ibiza aircon fault
Discussion
Good Morning,
I'm hoping to pick the brains of some knowledgeable VAG owners. I have a 2003 Ibiza 1.4 tdi. When i bought it the AC wasnt working very well so i had it re-gassed (vcds showed low gas). It worked fine for about a month but would make a hiss or whistling sound intermittently.
The AC is back to how it was now (not cold) so i assume i have a leak somewhere. However, i just wanted to be sure because i also have some fault codes thrown up by vcds about the temperature and re-circulation motors. I do not have any fault codes for low ac gas. I was wondering if the ac is working fine but the temp control motor is making it not go to its coldest setting.
I did some googling and its mentioned that the hissing noise is a broken ac compressor. Before i change it would like to be sure that's the fault without having to take it to a garage as they are painfully expensive here.
Have anyone experienced this before and can point me in the right direction?
