Hi all,

I have an Audi A3 8v which has a fault with the AC button, where the majority of the time the button when pressed won't stay enabled and therefore preventing me from using the AC.

Not too sure if its the actual button which is the issue or the AC unit. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated!

TIA

Has no gas, the pressure switch is turning it off.

Hi Carl,

I got the system regassed last summer, so do you reckon it is a leak?

100%

It will have a small leak, overtime the pressure drops and the pressure switch notices there no pressure.

You have the fan running, or system set to 'Auto'?

AC will not start if there is no forced throughput of air.
