1. Scan [08] Climate Control
2. Test / Repair all faults
3. Set [08] Climate Control back to basic settings after repairs
4. Add the Hi and Low A/C gauges to the service posts
5. Start the engine
6. Set Climate control to MAX
7. Read gauges and measure the temperature at the outlets
8. Electric cooling fan must engage
9. Low pressure - Low R134 - now you need a qualified A/C tech

eBay?? A cloned Vag-Com??

There's one member on this forum that seems to "know" that a cloned tool is worth the "fleaBay" price. Small price > small brain > small tool > never upgradeable.

Get OEM and have a real tool.

As for A/C gauges, if you're not qualified, don't play with it.

My local Autopro has a VAG COM tool and they do a/c stuff. They read the fault code and it was low on gas. They checked for leaks and found none, put less than 1/2 pound in. Reset fault and it cost $43 its working fine now.
Cheers Rich.
