I have a problem with my A/C somewhere on a 95 VW Golf 2.0 with about
158000 miles. I took it into a Firestone dealer to get the refrigerant recharged and of course they said everything and its mother was broken. I ended up replacing the radiator fan (and belt) and the expansion valve. Of course there is still a problem, what happens now is that sometimes the A/C blows cold, other times it just blows outside temp. air. Given that the A/C should be fully charged (there were no leaks according to Firestone, I used the dye) and the radiator fan and the expansion valve work, the only thing that I can think of is that either me compressor fails intermittently, which I doubt, or maybe the A/C cut-out switch has failed. I would REALLY like to get my A/C working without wasting any more money than I already have (thanks again to the honest thieves at Firestone) because it gets pretty hot in Florida. So any help would appreciated, hopefully someone's had this problem before or might know something about it.- posted
