air conditioning

I am clearing out the back of my T4 Caravelle (1999) and I have come across the rear air conditioning unit behind the trim, on the drivers side right at the back. It is not like similar units I have read about, there is no vent on the window. There are tubes going through the floor and seem to...

Hi all, Just trying to establish if this is normal or not to start with. I've got a '10 plate T5.1 GP I bought last year, with factory fitted AC. Now it's started to get a bit nippy down south I've noticed something funky with my heater. It seems to work fine if the direction is pointed down...

Hi guys, I am having a bit of trouble with my ac (manual, single zone). The AC works (compressor and ventilators are running), the thick ac pipe got really cold today while the other one was somewhat warm. However I got no cold air coming out of the vents in the car. Regardless of whether I...

Hi, i'm pulling the engine out on my T4 2.5 tdi in order to change the clutch slave cylinder, and a few other jobs that need doing whilst it's out, but i'm a little unsure about disconnecting the air conditioning. Is there a way to remove it without loosing the refrigerant? maybe some of the...

Hey Planning to head off on Friday so tried gassing up the (manual) A/C in my '96 T4 Panel van. Pressure wasnt that bad, but tried adding R134a up to 40PSI and the compressor still wont engage.... so currently no A/C and +30 degrees forecast.... :bhd. Trouble shooting done so far....: 1...

Been looking at fitting AC in the van as we're heading down to Albania/Greece in the summer and its going to be rooooasting! I figure that we could retrofit, but then we'd only be able to use it when engine is running. Best solution I can find is an under bench unit like the Dometic Freshwell...

Excellent condition, low mileage full VW service history. We bought the van brand new and had it converted to our specification by Complete Camper Conversions with no expense spared. The van has air conditioning, rear parking sensors and a removalable tow bar. We had LED running lights, chrome...

Ok I get it, running AC on 12/24V while parked up is exceptionally difficult if not impossible. But the new unit from Dometic (RTX 2000) looks like it 'could' work. Its designed for a truck but I dont see why it wouldn't work in a van.... anyone seen it done before? When I looked at this...

Can anyone help here. Just bought a 2005 Caravelle. Spent the last 5 weeks in hot conditions. Discovered a lot of water under the carpet, having tried to sort out the air bag warning light. Could this be in issue with condensate? I also note that the cables serving the seat, exit through large...

T5 2006 2.5 tdi Gas pressure 35-40 Fans spinning Clutch spinning - I assume the compressor is spinning Switch on A/C, lights up and you can hear the change and gas hiss like noise in the dash. I guess this is expected, it's not leaking as I checked pressure a couple of times after. Done Vagcom...

The advertisement is for a VW T4 2.5 Window Van 2002 right hand drive with air conditioning in India blue £7,250 on an `02` plate. Link to photos below: http://www.vwt4forum.co.uk/album.php?albumid=33321 I have owned this van for over four years and covered about 34,000 miles in it. The cam...

Hi All, We have a weird problem with our air-con and hope that someone might have an idea on how to fix it. The vehicle is a 2008 SWB 2.5 automatic camper van (Autosleeper Trident conversion). The problem: when you switch the air con on, it will run for approx 10-15 minutes before stopping...

Lovely VW Transporter T5.1 SWB with air conditioning, low milage of 54,000k and just been serviced and MOT (MOT'd till 21st July 2016) and VAT already paid. New model with date of Registration 20/10/2010. Private seller, purchased as a base model in Nov 13 and professionally converted. Had...

Had my 2.5 T5 in a vw today for a assessment on why the air con wasn't working. Turns out a new compressor is needed, the next question was how much?? £1356 was the answer!!!:eek::* just for a compressor fitted. My question is how easy is it to change and does anyone know where to get one from...

Today I fired up my T5 2005 Trendline 1.9 for the first time in a week. The ASR light was illuminated (as the pic below) on the dash. The ASR isn't on, but a VAGCOM check gave the following error. 16916/P0532/001330 - A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor (G65): Short to Ground Indeed, air...

Looking for help in sorting out an AC issue. have an imported 2.5 TDI Multivan/caravel year 2000. The ac unit has started to fail. When I start the van the ac unit flashes for a while, when it stops flashing there is no front fan working the fan in the back of the van is working. I have been...

Been looking for a Shuttle that has air con the in the back but even the dealers often don't know if fitted. How does one actually tell if it's fitted? I mean testing to see if it gets cold is pointless in winter! There is a panel in the boot on the right hand side when removed can (and...

Hi All, I'm new to this forum so I'll begin saying 'hi' ;) I have a caravelle with problems with the compressor. It ran dry and startet making rattling noises that got so much, I bypassed the pump altogether. The problem I'm facing is getting a new one or rather a used part....any help would be...

Hi has anyone fitted and after market air con unit on a T5 conversion... Planning to do a few summers in Europe so think we'll probably need to fit an air con unit, but can't find many options...

Sorry for posting this thread here but I'm really not sure where else to put it ? I have a serious water leak in my '99 T4 Caravelle with Aircon. The water bottle is draining every 40 mile or so and we've had a lot of steam coming up the windscreen air vents. This is compounded by the fact that...
