Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Air Conditioner Playing up.

    I have a Mk.3 and the air has been doing some weird things. I admit to having no idea about A/C, just wondering if any one else is more enlightened. Sometimes when starting the car, the fan will blow but no cold air comes out. Stop the car and restart and the A/C works again. Just about due for 15 K service, so hopefully that and the intermitant cruise control drop out issue can be fixed.

    Cruise control dropout is a known fix. Theres a thread on briskoda, with issue numbers, parts to fix it etc. IIRC coding (updating software) and a new stalk are the fixes.

    As for the A/C - sounds strange, but definitely like a problem. Sounds electronic from what you have said.

          A vcds scan might help. Do you have a cable? Maybe post in the vcds section?

            It went into the dealers today for the above faults...............No fault found, but we did a software update. Gee, how did I know that was going to happen. At least they re logged as an issue now though.
