Hi All

I'm getting no cold AC and starting the process of troubleshooting.

As I understand, there's several possibilities and I'm trying to navigate how to troubleshoot. The things to check for this model (info below, along with autoscan log) as I understand are:

1. Blend doors
2. Pressure sensor (G65?)
3. Compressor or attached solenoid.
4. Leaks
5. Finally, charge of refrigerant.

steps performed

Cleared DTCs as I hadn't run VCDS in 4-5 years on this car. Drove the car for a bit.
Found this article on hvac troubleshooting: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/633/
which stated to ensure basic settings are complete.

Checked the wiki for my car, but:

There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.

So followed these steps from touareg:

[Select]
[08 - Heating/Air Conditioning]
[Basic Settings - 04]

Group 001
[Go!]
Activate the Basic Setting.
[ON/OFF/Next]
The basic setting takes approximately 25 seconds.
[Done, Go Back]
[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]


Got fault code. Tried to clear but no luck. Also, car is in ECON only mode, as that button is staying lit up and not responding to presses. This wasn't a problem before the 'basic settings' so I think I may have messed something up. Tried performing this again with the engine not running.

Some questions:

How do I find the high pressure and low pressure measurements? (what steps do I take, as I'm a VCDS beginner)
How do I find the compressor shut off code that's mentioned in the above forum post?

As an aside... I also I have a brake pad warning light that's on even though the pad sensors and fluid level check out. I understand speed sensors can trigger this also. Since that's a different topic, I'll make a new post.


Basic Info:


AUDI Q7 2007 3.6 PREMIUM, Stock, recently did intake valve clean and pcv diaphragm replacement, but AC was a problem well before this.

I wonder of @DrPeter has any words of wisdom regarding this old Q7 HVAC.

Hello,

I would recommend to have a look at the " Compressor Shut off code" in the Measuring Value Block group [002], field (1), key on, engine running AC set to Auto.
- Let us know what you see there.

The list located on the Ross-Tech forum post Tis’ the HVAC Season is close enough to get you started in the diagnoses.

If you have a value of (2) and you still have a Basic Settings fault code, you may need to fix/correct the two other fault codes for the flap/vent motors.
(2) = Compressor OFF (basic setting not performed or not performed without error)

The other Measuring Value Block group you need to check is the one for refrigerant pressure, let us know what you see in MVB-001, field (4).
- Should be above 3-4 bar static, key on, engine off, depending on the temperature:

G65 Pressure vs. Temperature chart
(When key is on, engine is off, static system pressure)

15C - 59F - 4.0 bar
20C - 68F - 5.0 bar
25C - 77F - 6.0 bar
30C - 86F - 7.0 bar
35C - 95F - 8.0 bar
40C - 104F - 9.0 bar
ref: Tis’ the HVAC Season

Let us know what you see in these Measuring Value Blocks..

Thanks,

drpeter

Thanks drpeter!

I'll check out group 2 field one and mvb-001 field 4.

While I was out and about, I did try some other things earlier today that may or may not be relevant..
  • Ambient Temp today was around 71 degrees F when I tried these things, and I'd driven the car for 1 hour or so running errands and hoping to get the ECON mode to turn off.
  • My advanced measures for the HVAC 08 is greyed out, but in the Engine 01 section, I was able to see the following under advanced measures. From memory, so may be a bit off.
    • A/C Hi Pressure: 4.0 bar.
    • A/C Readiness: Off/Low. (can't recall if it was Off or something else.)
    • Compressor: Off
My laptop battery died just as I was saving that log, lol, but after a recharge, I'll check those things out asap and give a closer read to the Tis' the HVAC Season thread and see if I can get to those flap motors.

Kind regards,

Sam

just checked those blocks....,

Looks like compressor code is "2.0" and the fault code for basic settings persists.

The pressure is 3.4 bar, engine on with an ambient temperature of 74F.
Will have to rerun with engine off to verifying if it’s a different reading

Looking online, it seems the 2 'faulty' motors can be reached by removing the drivers side knee panels and the housing for kessy and some other electronic boxes. However it appears that this will require some 'contortionism' to reach. Not looking forward to that!

Curse you VAG for using cheap potentiometers or the wrong grease in these servos! At least inexpensive replacements are available or the pots can be cleaned.

Hopefully the compressor will spin after that and no leaks. Wish there was a way to 'fool' the system w/o out having to get to those motors.
