Twingo AC Not Cooling

My 2013 Renault Twingo (gasoline engine) AC isn't cooling. It doesn't seem to switch on at all. The car has 79620 km on the clock. I suspect a defect in the individual valves. Any ideas? I checked the AC relay and don't hear anything unusual. The blower motor seems fine. I'm concerned about the AC efficiency.

Summary of the thread

The 2013 Renault Twingo's air conditioning system is not cooling, and the AC doesn't seem to activate at all. The suspected cause is a defect in the individual valves, but the AC relay and blower motor appear to be functioning correctly. A suggestion was made to inspect the AC compressor, as it could be faulty, and professional diagnosis at a workshop is recommended for accurate identification and repair.

Sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my Twingo a while back. The AC just wouldn't kick in, and it was driving me nuts. Was hotter than hell in the car! Did you check for issues with the AC compressor?

I haven't specifically checked the AC compressor. How should I inspect it for potential issues? I'm trying to do some AC diagnostics.

The AC compressor is a pain to get to. Unless you're a whiz with car electrics, I'd suggest getting it to a workshop. It could be a faulty compressor, or as you said, one of the valves. Cost me around 1000€ to get sorted, including parts and labor. Best to get a pro to diagnose it properly.

Thanks for confirming this and sharing your experience. A visit to a workshop seems best. Thanks again.
