Electrical faults and air conditioning not working in 2013 VW Scirocco Diesel: Exchange of experience wanted
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2013 VW Scirocco Diesel owner is experiencing electrical issues and a non-functional air conditioning system. The suspected causes include a message fault in the air conditioning system or a faulty cable. A similar case with a 2016 Golf GTI revealed that a loose cable contact was causing intermittent errors, which were resolved after repair. The solution involved checking the control unit and troubleshooting the air conditioning system, leading to a successful and cost-effective repair.

Hello, oh boy, that sounds like a grueling thing. But good to know that it could actually be the air conditioning. Do you remember how expensive the repair was? And have you had any new problems since then or has everything been fine? It would be really great if you could tell me a bit more about it. Many thanks in advance!

Hey, first of all, don't panic! I haven't actually had any more problems since the repair. The message error in the air conditioning system was fixed, so everything was back to normal. As for the cost, I didn't have to pay much for the repair. To be precise, the cost amounted to 100 euros. How cool is that? When I heard that, I just thought to myself: ''That's a bargain''! I hope that calms you down a bit! Take care!

Hi, thanks for the detailed information! Gosh, you've really cheered me up with your "bargain"! Does that mean the repair was free of charge for you? That's unbelievable! But it's good to know that you haven't had any more problems since then. I feel a bit reassured now and think I'll take my car to the garage this weekend. Thank you very much and I wish you all the best! See you then!

Hello, I had a similar experience with my 2016 Golf GTI. I took it to the garage with about 85k on the clock after a few electrical issues and the air conditioning sometimes working and sometimes not. The guys in the garage checked the control unit and found that it was actually the air conditioning system that was spitting out error messages. They then carried out troubleshooting, which revealed that a cable had a loose contact. That's why the error wasn't always there, but only now and then. But hey, everything was fine again after the repair. Hope this helps you! All the best!
