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,

  • 2005 T5 TDI 4Motion no cold air

    Hi all. Got in the bus today and the other half mentioned that the sour no longer gets cold. With all the cold weather i hadn't noticed it not working. There's plenty of air velocity, but it is all warm air.
    Can anyone recommend a decent airconditioning shop in Adelaide? Or am i better taking it back to Solitaire?

    Have you checked all the fuses or can you hear the air compressor clicking off and on when you turn it on . Also you maybe able to see the engine revs change slightly when the air is tuned on and off . Just an idea if the compressor has gone to lunch expect a $1600 bill for a new one from VW , thats what they charged us for a new one when the bearing failed .

      No clicks from the compressor. I'll check the fuse to start with.

        Which engine fitted? The rubber coupling used to **** the bed quite often on the T5's. But depends on the motor fitted. Probably worth getting someone to put some gauges on and see what is actually occuring.

          Does AXE sound right?

            Do the easy things first. Get it re-gassed. Then worry about more complex things after that.

              Regassing won't help if the rubber coupling or the freewheel drive have gone,
              on the AXE you won't hear a click from a compressor clutch as they don't have a
              elect magnetic clutch, also there is sometimes such a minute difference in revs
              that you might not notice.

              Best to check fuse(s), if ok then as suggested above get the couplings checked,
              if ok then get the system pressures checked and go from there.

                Before you take it there, can you change the air direction from the vents with turning the knob?

                  Ok. New coupling about four years ago. They should last longer than that?

                    Just make sure both knobs are working as usual. Otherwise, yeah it could be low on gas.
