intermittent A/C on '00 Jetta
The A/C in my '00 Jetta has started to not work intermittently. Sometimes,
it works great, other times, it won't work at all. I haven't noticed any patterns. Often it won't work, I'll park the car, come back 20 min later and it will. Or it will be working great as I'm driving and will spontaneously stop working. Anyone have any ideas what this might be or what I should investigate ? dv -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The geographical center of Boston is in Roxbury. Due north of the center we find the South End. This is not to be confused with South Boston which lies directly east from the South End. North of the South End is East Boston and southwest of East Boston is the North End.

Evaporator feeze-up. turn switch to vent until it starts to get warm, then
engage A/c again. "Drew V" > wrote in message ... > The A/C in my '00 Jetta has started to not work intermittently. > Sometimes, > it works great, other times, it won't work at all.

The OP's air conditioner may be low on coolant.

pressure switch, overheat switch, ambient switch. And there's more but I
would check them 3 first. "Drew V" > wrote in message ... > The A/C in my '00 Jetta has started to not work intermittently. > Sometimes, > it works great, other times, it won't work at all.

Good suggestions. But, how does the typical backyard mechanic check such
contraptions? -- Jonny "Lost In Space/Woodchuck" > wrote in message ... > pressure switch, overheat switch, ambient switch.

with a manual & wiring diagram and a digital volt/ohm meter all 3 can be
checked with ease. "Jonny" > wrote in message k.net... > Good suggestions.
