I've got guests in town and their '02 VW Eurovan A/C is acting up. It's been intermittent and now no longer working as they arrived. Here's what I've found:
Bought gauge and R134 is fully charged.
When activated, A/C compressor clutch engages and compressor spins as normal with no untoward noises.
After several minutes, no joy out of the vents - just ambient air.
The metal lines both remain the same temp, where I'm used to one getting extremely cold in proper operation.
Low miles (39k) and well cared for. Condensor is clean and no external blockages.
In other words, externally everything seems normal, but no joy. Anyone seen these symptoms before or have anything to add?
Thanks,
DougM
