Seat Exeo AC problem

I am writing to report an air conditioning malfunction in my 2009 Seat Exeo, equipped with a gasoline engine. The air conditioning system no longer provides cooling, and the compressor does not engage when the AC is activated. Preliminary AC diagnostics suggest a potential defect in individual valves within the air conditioning system. Has anyone else experienced similar AC maintenance issues, and what was the resolution? What steps did you take to troubleshoot the system before determining the root cause?

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.

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.
