Help...AC just stopped....New car

Re: Help...AC just stopped....New car (evanb)

Happened to me one time and after I shut off the car and restarted it worked again. Hasn't happened since (about 10000 miles). Either way you are still under warranty, so have it checked.

My AC compressor was bad when I had only 200 miles on the car, it was defective. But mine also made a horrible sound and it was not good to drive around like that. So the dealer took care of it.. just upsetting on a brand new car but when it's defective, you can't do much about it. Do you hear anything unusual from the engine at idle and slightly above idle?

When brand new, my 2000 Golf GLS 2.0L had only 10 miles on it and the A/C didn't work from the beginning. It only got cold during high speed cruising, but spewed out hot air while at rest at a stoplight or driving slowly. I took it back to the dealer and they said a computer had to be reset.

Mine had a bad AC compressor that they replaced. Car was brand new.

Could have a broken belt to the compressor. In any case, it's under warranty.

bad compressor here also....at first mechanic thought it was a blown fuse, but after it was changed the a/c would work...the fuse would keep blowing out again after turning the a/c off and on again...found out bad compressor caused this
