Seat Ibiza Air Conditioning Failure
Summary of the thread
A 2010 Seat Ibiza owner experienced a sudden failure in the air conditioning system, which stopped cooling and wouldn't switch on, accompanied by a warning light and a stored fault in the error memory. The local garage suspected a defective air conditioning control unit, with a repair estimate of 980€. After checking the refrigerant level and considering similar experiences from others, the owner confirmed the issue was indeed the control unit, which was replaced, resolving the problem.

Yeah, I checked the refrigerant level, seemed fine. The air conditioning system doesn't even switch on, so I suspected something more serious. You mentioned a similar issue... what was the cause in your case? And how did you fix it? Was it expensive? This air conditioning repair has me stressed!

Sounds like the air conditioning control unit to me too. That's what happened with mine. I tried a few things myself, but in the end, I had to take it to a workshop. They confirmed it quickly. Honestly, with those symptoms, I wouldn't mess around too much and just get it checked professionally. Automotive cooling issues can be tricky.

Just wanted to let you know I took my Ibiza to the garage and you were right. They confirmed the air conditioning control unit was defective. I got it replaced, and now the air conditioning is working again! Cost me around 980€, but at least it's sorted. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

Sounds familiar! I had almost the same problem with my Ibiza. The air conditioning just quit, and the warning light was annoying. Did you check the refrigerant level? That was the first thing I did, but it didn't solve anything. Mine gave me a similar issue.
