Air Con not working

Today I used my Fsi for the first time this spring in sunny weather. I did not get the normal temperature drop from the Air Con and no improvement when I set the AC to lowest temp (LO) and the ECON is of. The fan is working normally.

I have run a VCDS scan without any error codes.

The two refrigerant pipes in the engine bay (aluminium tubes) was both with the engine on idle.

Will a not working compressor or a low gas (Refrigerant) generate an VCDS error log?

Is that a guide to meassuring the gas pressure, temperatures etc with VCDS?

Or is there any hidden menues in the Air Conditioning Control unit?
 
I found these, I will try it tomorrow!

This type of Audi Climatronic was available in:


  • Audi A2
  • Audi A3 8L
  • Audi A4 B5
