Wait for the goodwill, if you have a full service history with the dealer you should have a chance at seeing 50/50 parts and labour

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.

An update:
Volkswagen has agreed to pay for a 70% of the total cost. I'm pretty satisfied with this outcome given that the car is almost 5 years old.
Guess all those expensive regular dealer servicings have paid off!
Bad news is that I have to wait a month before they get the parts and have an opening to install it, and it's going to be the hottest summer ever in Sydney.Comment

good result.
Just for interest – mkV Golf. I paid $1550 for a complete new system (compressor, condenser ect) at one of the big AC specialist in BNE. I dropped it off at 7am for a quote, they called at about 9am with diagnoses, I picked it up at 4pm with cold air. They are fitting aftermarket parts with warranty. On the day there was 6 vehicles in the work shop, 3 VWs, 2 Audis and 1 mitsubishi.

With all the negative media focus on the DSGs, I'm guessing VW don't want the public to find out about this AC problem, which is just as bad if not worse!Originally posted by harlie View PostQuote “We have multiple units in stock, due to the number of VWs that come in”Comment

My 07 GT Sport was done last week in BNE for $1200. This included replacing the compressor, dryer and desiccant plus a re-gas. It was done in a day (after the replacement compressor was itself replaced as it sprung a leak on install).
This was not at a dealer but at my crash repairers as the car was in there for rear-end damage after I got run in to.
Didn't bother going to a dealer for a share with VW.MY08 Mk5 GT Sport - sold
MY14 Tiguan 118TSI - sold (Mazda3 SP25GT in its place)
MY16 Golf 7R: sold (Caterham Super 7 and Hyundai i30N in its place)Comment
