Seat Exeo AC problem
Summary of the thread
The conversation centers around an air conditioning malfunction in a 2009 Seat Exeo, where the system fails to cool, and the compressor does not engage. Preliminary diagnostics suggest a defect in individual valves. A similar issue was resolved by replacing multiple components, costing around 1000€, including labor. The recommended solution is to consult a qualified technician rather than attempting a DIY repair.

When you encountered this issue, did you find a specific valve to be the primary cause, or was it a more systemic problem requiring replacement of multiple components? Was the 1000€ cost inclusive of labor, or primarily for parts?

In my case, the issue was, unfortunately, systemic involving multiple valves. The 1000€ expenditure covered both the replacement of several components and the associated labor costs. Given the complexity and potential need for specialized tools, I would strongly advise against attempting a DIY repair. Is it worth risking further damage and potentially higher costs? Consulting with a qualified technician is probably your best course of action.

I appreciate your detailed explanation. It seems my initial assessment regarding the valves was accurate. I have scheduled an appointment with a certified technician. The estimated repair cost aligns with your experience, approximately 1000€. Thank you for the confirmation and guidance.

I have experienced very similar AC issues with my Seat Exeo. The symptoms you describe are nearly identical to what I observed. Have you checked the AC relay and the pressure switch? Considering the mileage, it might also be a good idea to assess the overall AC efficiency before delving into more complex AC diagnostics.
