VW Citi Golf 1.4 A/C issue: only works during idle

Post by RudeCiti »

Hi all,

Greetings, I'm new to this forum.

I have a 2004 1.4 Citi Golf with 164000km on the clock.

For the last few thousand km the A/C has been malfunctioning; it works absolutely fine during idle, however as soon as I apply throttle its almost as though a switch flicks and it blows much lighter and the air is warm, it also changes noise when this happens.

I'm imagining that its some kind of switch or more likely that there's a vacuum leak?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rudi

does the radiator fan run when you switch it on?
could also be low gas.
