Not good. Now I'm getting pessimistic, was hoping it was the simple matter of a gas. I don't remember mine being a problem for 18 months at least.

Funny today in Melb (33 according to the outside temp in the car reading) I had left the car in the sun for around 3 hours (11am - 2pm) so overhead sun and all. Car was hot when we jumped in but cooled down really quick even set at 20 (mrs was turning up the temp was top cold for her)
Berlin enjoys pleasant, sunny summers when days are long and temperatures can sometimes exceed 86°F (30°C), particularly in July and August.
Isn't this interweb thingy great? Sharing and learning in a friendly and accommodating environment :biggrin:! Thanks.
To go back off-topic, the highest recorded temp in Germany is a tad over 40, the lowest around -46.
From personal experience, "heat" (say around 30) is rather oppressive (tending towards muggy), different to where you are, swallowtail. Not nice.
Anyway, it still appears that VAG aircons are, as experienced by some, not as good as those from "other manufacturers". I simply find that weird considering that we're looking at global markets, and production facilities all over the world.
Seeya,

Guys n Gals, not sure if this is an issue but i noticed my aircon actually switching on and off and therefore not getting cool and it turned out to be the accessory fan not working.
Not saying this is an issue but if your getting it checked out make sure its actually working. The bad thing was at the diagnostics in the dealer it showed it was actaully cutting in an working but the guy didnt believe it so physically checked and found the fan wasn't working.
They replaced the fan and since then the air has been good however its does have to run at 19-20 degrees
For the people on here with a wagon that believe their aircon isn't working the best, it may help to keep the luggage cover closed :bit-frozen:. You shouldn't have to do that, but at least it will help as you reduce the air volume in the cabin significantly and the aircon is not trying to cool down your luggage compartiment. It might just make it work that little bit better on hot days.
My previous car had a panoramic sunroof (complete glass roof) and that really made the aircon struggle. Something to conside for people looking at this option on the CC, I would not get a glass roof again for that reason!
A/C is fine in mine... nice and cool.
