  I just had this unit fail on my 2016 Golf 7 Sportsvan, I was 600km from home in another province. I had to get it towed to a nearest VW dealer, where they diagnosed this unit as the fault. I stripped it, same as the 1 in your hands, all good mechanically, also noticed the less than hair thin wires, but did not attempt to do any checks as yet, until I was back home with access to my tools. For signal wires, it is very strange to have wire that thin in place, but, I am quite sure there was either a good engineering design reason or a product management decision involved, reliability vs money from selling replacement units every 100000 km.

•

  Stripped unit again and, yep, mine had 3 of the 4 wires loose, the wires seem to be spot/tack welded similar to how they connect up lithium batteries. Crazy VW charged me R16000 incl diagnostics, labour, new part. 😢

  Hi, is it possible to have a leak from the compressor it self? I had my condeser replaced as it was not holding pressure, after i replaced condeser with new one, i went for recharge, they made a leak test and every thing was ok, cold air no problems, after two days my aircon was not blowing cold air any more and i went back to recharge guys, they put i uv torch on the compressor and it was green on top and bellow the compressor and they said i need a new compressor, what is weird and i have asked the recharge guy that why when he did a pressure test on the high pressure port was holding air but after recharge it was leaking, he said that they cant make pressure test while compressor is working so i don't know about this, i have seen that these ford focus mk1 you need to charge the on the low pressure port, but these local mechanics they all doing from the high pressure port, is that normal?

  You can charge Aircon from high or low side if you know what you are doing. Some leaks only develop when the system is running under pressure and components have warmed up.

  It's normal to have a single scenario of discharge to 0 now and then. You need an extra charger (the circuit board) to get to the specs of the normal charger. Don't fool with it like some comments say. Charging must remain in low amps and a bit higher voltage. It says on the chargers.

  'Thin screwdriver'

• 
  @SS-el6sy3 ай бұрын

  All the multi cable 'plugs' ever fitted on cars 'unlatch' differently ! A very this screwdriver is usually the order of the day and working out what to press or push away is the hard bit. Mine is a late 2012 '62' plate car and has only one cable to the airbag module... The easiest way to obtain the correct Squib is just to detach just the airbag module alone so you purchase the right "one cable or two cable" Clock Spring/Squib"

• 
  @SS-el6sy3 ай бұрын

  Thanks to this video, I had the courage to change the 'squib' by myself. Points to remember, trying to press in the latching springs of the airbag can damage the wiring and plugs in the 'same" location. I just happened to have the right size dowel handy, which did the job of pushing the "springs" away safely... then after changing the squib, got the dreaded 'Traction Control' alarm. !.. this I cleared with another KZread ! But had actually mis- aligned the Steering Angle Sensor, which has to be transferred off your old Squib.. Then I lost a load of functions which can be performed from the switches on the airbag module: These functions all came back once I pushed the grey plug home properly...take your time and follow the precautions about the Steering Angle Sensor module ! I just used a non original inexpensive 'Squib' !
