Skoda Superb AC Not Cooling

I am experiencing an issue with my 2020 Skoda Superb with a gasoline engine. The air conditioning has stopped cooling, and the entire AC system doesn't seem to be switching on at all. The car has 210777 km on it. I suspect it might be a defect in one of the valves within the AC system itself. Before I take it to a workshop, does anyone have experience with similar problems? I already checked the AC maintenance history and did not notice anything obviously wrong.

I had a similar issue with my Skoda Superb. The AC relay and pressure switch were the first things I checked. Have you inspected those? A defect in the valves of the AC system can certainly cause these symptoms.

Thank you for your reply. Where exactly is the AC relay located, and how difficult is it to check the pressure switch? Are there any specific tools required?

The relay is usually located in the fuse box, check your owner's manual for the exact location. The pressure switch is a bit more involved; you will need AC diagnostics equipment to properly assess it. Given the symptoms and your suspicion, it is most likely a valve issue, and a workshop visit is advisable.

I had the AC diagnostics performed at a workshop, and you were right a faulty valve was the culprit. The cooling system is getting repaired, and it looks like it will be around 1000€ for the complete job.
