Van Air con

[NeillyG]

Evening all,
Has anyone had issues with the van air con stopping blowing?
Currently in France and it’s lovely and warm. On the drive south the other day the van air blower stopped blowing through vents other than a trickle. It doesn’t matter if air con is on or off. It sounds like the fan speed is changing but no air coming out. There does not seem to be any fuse diagrams anywhere online to see if it’s a fuse. Will get sorted before next trip but hoping there is something I can fix on the go. Tempted to find a VWCV in Bordeaux to see if they can do anything but also don’t want to have to bother with it when on holiday.
Still in warranty just so hoping all these things happen how.
On a side note by “limousine” black coating is bubbling. Actually noticed at home in Scottish temps. Has anyone had this repaired or replaced under warranty?

we have had few issues with low airflow/not cooling very well. Noticed it worse when in west coast of france during 30 plus degrees couple of years ago. At one point had flow drop then ice come out vents and worked a little better. Anyway long shorty short VW stripped dash and reset over 3 visits and 3 years as only happened in hot weather after driving for a while. Took back few weeks ago and they found the air on system was very low on gas were surprised how low. refilled and tested now seems to be lot better.

Interesting to hear not the only one. Our AC has subsequently been working fine. However I will need to mention it as the end of warranty is close.
What I hate is how long any issues take to resolve with VWCV. I think from time of flagging to resolution is 6-9 months which is ridiculous. With two months of warranty left
I’m going to dump them with minor issues: bubbling black trim, non sparking gas since sink changed, AC issue?, truma boiler not dropping/ resetting.
Nothing major but I hope once there are reolved under warranty I can swan off into the distance.
Any other issues I should check before it costs

I havent had major issues just few things but some have take while to sort here’s rough list:

1. replacement blinds with pin holes
2. dropping roof liner where its joins
3. rust on the bathroom sink magnets, had this twice!
4. cracked external toilet hatch
5. bathroom shelf became unstuck
6. silicon in bathroom (did this myself as didn’t want VW engineer doing as they do tend to make a mess)
7. check recalls and TPI’s main ones i have had are rear brake light, step software, rood windows, big one is kitchen tap. Also try and get firmware update done on the touchscreen to latest version.
8. my latest issue is the bathroom mirror has separated as its two pieces stuck together
