VW Touran Climate Control problem.
Harry Bloomfield brought next idea :
expressed precisely :
Ocasionally turning teh AC compressor off and on again sometimes
resets it, as does setting teh temp to LO, but both of these are not a
guarantee to get it funtioning as it should.
I know nothing about the Touran, however...
Could the coil/fins of the unit be freezing up and blocking the flow?
There is supposed to be a sensor on the fins to sense the temperature and
turn the compressor off if they get too cold and start to ice up. If that
sensor has failed or giving a spurious reading...
That would fit in with your turning the a/c off, it defrosting and your then
getting airflow again. Is there a large pool of water appearing under it,
when you stop and after the air flow has dimished?
dimished = diminished = when the air flow problem has appeared during
the run.
