Hey, I can totally understand you, I had a similar problem with my 2017 Octavia Skoda. I'm not a mechanic, but at my garage we found that the air conditioning compressor was faulty, just like your suspicion. The best thing is, it cost me 0 euros because it was under warranty. But to give you more specific info, I need more details about your car, e.g. whether it's still under warranty or has expired. Hope that helps a bit!

Hey, thanks for your reply! So my Skoda, Superb, built in 2019, is still under warranty and has 15843 km on the clock. I was unsure whether this could be a warranty case or not. Hearing that, I think it will probably make sense to have it checked at the garage. Sounds like they might be able to fix it in my garage too. I'm curious to see what they'll say. I'll keep you up to date!

Hey, With such low kilometers, I would have the same suspicion as you that the refrigerant compressor is the problem. Exactly the same thing happened with my 2018 Passat. Unfortunately, it was no longer covered by my warranty. But apparently it wasn't as complex as it sounds. However, it cost me a hefty €600. Good luck with it, and let us know how it goes!
