Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf 5, MK 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Air conditioning
Operation: Air conditioning gas top-up

If when switching on the air conditioning the temperature of the air leaving the ventilation vents is not cold enough, then it is likely that there is not enough gas in the air conditioning circuit; to do an excellent job, it would be advisable to connect the appropriate machinery to recover the residual gas, to create a vacuum to make sure that there are no injuries in the system that could cause leaks and then to refill; but it is also possible to top up the gas by connecting the appropriate valve and using a disposable canister: before putting in the gas, start the engine and switch on the air conditioner.

It may be necessary to repeat the operation more than once for its success. After unlocking the gearbox, it can return to its original state by simply waiting for the aforementioned 15 minutes, or by pushing the release lever forward for a few seconds.
