This whole thing has been doing my head in. This is on a European 2003 6 Speed Manual 1.9 TDI (130HP) Passat Highline with 136,000 miles. The car has been in the family since new, and I don't wanna let go of it just because of a silly AC issue. Here is a summary of whats going on... Last...

I have problems with Climatronic HVAC (A/C) system in B5 Passat. I was able to diagnose the problem using the Climatronic interface and channel 40 ("Evaporator Temperature - Actual value") says that the evaporator temperature is -51 °C (-60 °F) which is obviously not the correct reading. (Press...

Relay 384 tested/okay; Compressor clutch tested/okay; AC controls (interior) inspected/okay; Evaporator fan spins freely by hand, but non-functional. Last Summer, AC would blow HOT when car came to a stop. This year, no AC period. Had filled the refrigerant and rechecked level a month later...

of pulling the cockpit vs disassembling the instrument panel? Or is there only good access to the heater core that way?

Hi Folks, Saw a few youtube videos showing how to disassemble nearly the entire dash to access the evaporator on the B5 passats but I've got a B6 with an AC leak somewhere and so far I haven't seen any dye leaks under the hood so I've got to go looking near the evaporator. Does anyone know if...

Re: 2005 tdi Passat wagon. My ac output had diminished over the last couple of years. I took it in to have it evacuated, dried and recharged by a reputable mechanic. Turned out it also needed a new ac electric fan by the radiator. Now the ac blows ice cold but I have occasional sloshing sounds...

I'm an ex-pat living in Brisbane, Australia and my evaporator is leaking and needs replacing. I have got a few quotes (around $2000 aussie dollars) to do the work but I'm not prepared to spend that kind of money on a car that's only worth 2-3 times that. I know it's a PITA job to take the dash...

I have been getting 313 error code for my 02 Passat which is fresh air inlet sensor for my climatronic. I ordered sensor whose part # starts with 4A0...i took my glove box out and reached up and found a sensor which looked slightly different. Its part # starts with 1J0... since i did not have...

Does a Passat 1998 Estate used AC Evaporator fit in a 1998 Saloon 1.9 Petrol Passat? I want to buy one off ebay, but not sure about part numbers and the seller aint sure if it fits. Will be grateful for your helpful guidance.

Hi everyone. I am new here so BEAR with me if my post is misplaced or anything else. Anyhow, I am about to take down the dash board on my 03 Passat 1.8 GL to get to the evaporator witch of course has a bad leak, a $1000 fix according to one mechanic. I know the task is daunting but I am not...

Had my 2007 VW Passat Wagon checked out due to no ac and got word that an A/C Line was ruptured between the compressor and evaporator when the raditator and other related parts were not bolted down well and shook. An estimate I got was $1100. Is this a good price??? They will not know if there...

Hi, I was driving my 06 Passat a humid July day. After like 3 hours on the road, I felt very humid in the car... although AC was on. Then I found that there was no air coming out of the vents, although I could hear the sound of the fan. Took it to a dealer, he found nothing...charged me $50...

Another AC Thread. Hey. AC does not blow cold. This is getting old. What do I do? Buy an evaporator that's new? I'm retarded. :thumbdown So, anyway, my AC runs warm when its hot outside. I checked the Climatronic evaporator temps: The set value is 1.3*C - channel 39 The actual value is...

Can someone point me to a DIY description of how to clear a clogged A/C evaporator drain line, preferably from the interior side. A steady trickle of water flows from the foam that seals the evaporator box and the funnel that exits the firewall after the A/C has been running about 5 minutes...

My AC stopped working (blowing warm) over a year ago and, while I had my car at the shop for an unrelated reason, I asked them to check the AC. They recharged the system, checked it out and said the evaporator core is leaking. They recommended replacing it and the dryer. The AC worked for about...

Reviewed all posts on "water intrusion" and couldn't find the answer. I have a plugged up A/C evaporator condensate drain line that's filling up the front passenger footwell with H2O. Removed the glovebox, I can see where the "funnel" exits the firewall, but can't locate where the drain tube...

I just took my car into my local mechanic to have the A/C system fixed. I had a problem with the system working intermittently and finally it just stopped working after about a month. I figured that there was a problem with one of the electrical components; however I did not know which one. I...

When driving around with the air conditioning on, I've noticed that I no longer have the drip of water following me around in the parking lot. That would not upset me but occassionally that drip ends up in the front passenger seat (not a good thing). I'm worried about mold and bacteria...

Hi there, I have a 2001 B5.5 18T Passat. I've only had it for two weeks. It's one previous owner, (I have the service records too) and has done 25,000 miles. Generally it's in good condition. (I think!). I asked a couple of questions on here over the last few days about aircon and what types...

I am having a problem sourcing an evaporator for my 1998 B5 at a reasonable cost, do you guys think it is possible that the evaporator of a 1996 Jetta would physically fit into the space. With welding we can relocate the necessary pipes.
