air conditioning

Hi all, Just joined the camper group and got a t5.1 2013 T30 T5, however given the nice weather i started using the aircon. This was intermittent and after replacing the pressure sensor and a few other bits i turned my attention to the controls. In positions 1&2 i could select the aircon button...

I’d say mine needs to be at 9 o clock position (well into the blue) before it feels cool. All the way into the blue never feels ice cold. Does this sound normal ? Or do I need it checked (whilst still in warranty) ? Thanks

Went to get re gassed but as soon as they did a bit it went straight to full, so was told it could be blocked. There anything I can do or check myself? When I search for what this could be I’m not finding much for T6s

I'll admit I can only be certain this works with my T6 TSi manual... Move the air con temperature control off the coldest temperature and voila.. Start/stop works at the first junction on the journey instead of about an hour into the journey. Of course this may actually have a detrimental...

Removed from T6 LWB 4M (2018 - 50k) by VW. Rear air con unit, pipes, ducts, vents, rear quarter panel, dash control (no other electrics). Tested as working when removed. Retrofit or Spares. Collection only (Taunton). £450 ono (wont split).

The aircon on the T6 was possibly the strongest i have experienced but after some front lower arms suspension work my aircon was mysteriously degassed... I have had it regassed at £180 as its front and back aircon but by teh time i got home from garage it was degassed again. The garage is happy...

Hi, I’ve never really used the air con on my T6 since I’ve had it but just recently due to the weather I’ve had it on. It works just fine whe. I’ve used it for small periods of 10-20 mins. Compared to my car though I’ve noticed that there is never any water on my drive after the air con had...

I asked this a while ago, but never got an answer. Is there a camper conversion company that incorporates rear air con? I'm curious as the California has this and it is a life saver for the rear passengers.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping I’m not the first person to have this issue, I’ve just bought a T6 kombi and picked it up today. It has a plastic bulkhead with a glass window in although it does have 2 cut outs at the bottom for longer items to be transported. Behind the bulkhead, it’s been sound...

Hi there My van is a 2016 euro 5 engine and have a noisy ac compressor pulley. Been told I have to buy the complete compressor but does anyone have a link or a part number for the pulley itself. Thanks a mil. Thierry

Hey everyone, so my ac doesn’t seem the coldest anymore, a little bit of a back story, it was a shuttle and it’s had the lot ripped out including the rear hvac (this maybe from there) had it degassed etc, but today I found this in the shed. Now the van has been apart for a while now for...

What is the attached picture telling me? I assume I need an Aircon regas but I can't see any reference to this gauge in the manual.

Having owned my Caravelle for four years I've been trying to work out the heating controls for the rear passenger area and have come to the conclusion something isn't quite right. The first problem is that even when the correct button is selected in the overhead panel (shown in the image) for...

Hi, We think we have found 'the van'...although it doesn't have A/C. The age vans we have been looking at don't have carplay, so were thinking of getting it enabled retrospectively. Some of the companies that offer the carplay service offer an air con fit. Does anyone have any experiences of...

Hi! I’ve got water in my passenger footwell from what seems to be a clogged condensate drain. I’ve reached this point from the awesome info in the forum, but need a bit more detail… How do I actually remove the drain plug to clear it? I know where it is and can lift the edge up, but I don’t know...

Hello fellow T6 owners!!! Am I correct in thinking that this is just a faulty seal on the A/C compressor solenoid? Has anyone else had this issue before, if so was it an easy fix? I believe it's a Garage job as the system will need draining and refilling I'm just after reassurance

Hi I have a T5.1 Shuttle that has been converted. The air con doesn't work so i took it for a re-gas and was told it had a leak from the rear of the van. The garage has had a look and said that the expansion valve has been blocked off with a rusty plate, two bolts and a load of sealant. The...

Hi I have a t6 done 125000m that has developed a low pitch drone noise like a bearing going while idling, took the belt off and ran it up which made the noise go away so span all pulleys alternator etc and all seem good but when trying the ac pump it seemed to have a fair bit of drag in it but I...

Hello all and thanks in advance if anyone knows how to fix my issue. I have a 2016 T6 which has a problem with the heater/fans. The main issue is that there is now fan/blow on number 1,2, or 3, but number 4 works fine. This is a pain coming into the warmer weather as I can't just have the...

Help please guys and gals I have bought an aftermarket head unit , when I connect adaptor harness and power radio on head unit works perfectly but air con keeps turning off and on . I have tried 2 leads and still have same problem when I reconnect old factory head unit air con is fine again any...
