2017 S3 - A\C not working

[Scott-1888]

I have a 2017 S3 Saloon. However the air conditioning is not working. When I press the button the small light turns on but as soon as I take my finger off the button the light turns off again.

Any ideas?
Thanks

What error codes do you get with a VAG-compliant reader?

 

[gwaijai]

I will have a check on Monday, I have a Youcanic, it has been able to read codes on the S3 in the past so should give me a good idea.
Will post what I find

Only VAG-compliant readers will be able to read codes from the AC as it is manufacturer-specific codes.

Hi,
I chanced it; read codes on the youcanic and got:
B10ABF0 - active/static - Refrigerant pressure lower limit not reached
Guess I am off to the FGAS man.
On a side note, is RossTech the best option for reading and coding on VAG?
Thanks

That's great! Remember to use the youcanic when you have a problem with your car before asking the community to tell you to use it!
