I had my local garage put a gauge on my low-pressure valve. Pressure was where it was supposed to be. I'm wondering if there's an issue with the refrigerant itself. Concerned that VW is going to try to charge me $179 an hour to find nothing wrong....
The AC blows like 20 degrees below outside air temp. So it cools but it's totally insufficient when it's 90+ degrees.
What's annoying is that the AC in this car was REALLY good up until when the condenser was damaged/replaced.
Bringing this thread back to life after a couple years.
When the VW dealer replaced the condenser, they claim to have purged and refilled with the right volume of R1234YF. My insurance covered the $2200 job.
Since I got my car back the AC has been pretty weak. Airflow is fine but the AC...
I bought a 2011 BMW 328i wagon (E91) new July 2010. Sold it in 2017 w/ 140K miles w/ original suspension/shocks which still felt like new. That said, I had the factory motorsports suspension package (ZSP) so I'm not sure if these were Sachs or another OEM.
On MK7.5, Koni over Bilstein B6?
I'm the original owner. Mostly basic, daily driving around Washington DC and/or Westchester, NY (awful roads in both locations). No auto-x or track.
The car feels like it's crashing over bumps / potholes. Suspension feels really busy and unsettled. Some 'creaking' sounds over speed bumps...
