My brother and I are stumped, my son's VW-GTI had ice cold air last summer and fall, sometime over the winter the compressor clutch went bad so I attempted to swap just the clutch out in the car, couldn't get it off in the car so I had the system discharged, I pulled the compressor out, swapped clutch assembly and re-installed within a few hours and pulled a vacuum down but it would not go under 24" of vac so I picked up new O-Rings for the suction and discharge side of the compressor and then it pulled down fine to almost 30" of vac.
Also while the compressor was out I drained/flushed and refilled with the proper PAG100 oil, reinstalled everything and we charged the system.
Started the car, pressures are equalized while the compressor if off, compressor running low side drops to between 35-40psi and the high side goes up to between 190-225 psi and the low side will not get cold.
Pressures are in spec, everything worked fine last year and now it all appears to be working and in spec but no cold air, no cold and sweaty low pressure side ???
WTF is it ?? I got two days of dicking with this and neither of us knows where to go with diagnosis ??
HELP......
