GrandlandX AC failure

My 2022 Vauxhall GrandlandX diesel's air conditioning has stopped working. I've checked the fuses, but I'm stumped and pretty frustrated that the air conditioning system won't switch on and no cool air is circulating.

I understand your frustration. I had a similar problem with my 2017 Skoda Octavia. The air conditioning just stopped working. I initially suspected the pressure switch, AC relay, or even the blower motor, but none of those were the issue. Have you had any AC diagnostics performed?

No, I haven't had any formal AC diagnostics done yet. I was hoping it might be something simple I could fix myself to save on labour costs. What was the eventual cause of the problem with your Skoda?

In my case, it turned out to be a defect in individual valves within the air conditioning system itself. Think of it like a leaky tap inside the engine. Unfortunately, it wasn't something I could fix myself. It required specialist tools and knowledge. I would recommend taking it to a trusted workshop for proper AC diagnostics. In the end, it cost me around 800€ to repair, so prepare for the worst. It sounds like you are heading that way.

Thanks for the advice. I feared as much, but it's good to have an idea of what I might be facing. I will book it in for a diagnosis as soon as possible. Thanks for taking the time.
