1 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2008

My air condition has been on the fritz so to speak for the last year, I thought it was my imagination. This passed week when I turned it on full blast all that was coming out is warm air. I took the car into vw dealership they repaired two leaks they said, when trying it out a few days later the air was blasting warm air once again. I took it back and now they are telling me the evaporator needs to be replaced costing me $1,700. 00. How could this happen to a car that is not even 5 years old yet. I am very disappointed.

2 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2005

A/c doesn't always come one went the engine is started. It blows but not cool air. I can pull back off the highway, shut the engine off and restart and it works fine. I have had it into the dealership repeatedly. The have seen the problem but can't seem to resolve it.
