I'm currently at this last stage with my 2005 Gti 180.

A/C was serviced, vac/pressure tested fine, full recharge.

System clicks when you turn on A/C and it does briefly cool the air before returning to normal. I seemed to get a bit better results when I turned the fan speed down from full speed - logic dictated that the longer the air spent in the cooling system the cooler it should be.

When they purged the system it only had 20g in it apparently, and the refill took 700g - so no wonder it wasn't doing anything. My concern now is that if the system has been empty for some time and has been run anyway, the compressor may have been damaged.

You can understand my reluctance to take it to an expensive specialist with what could be an intermittent fault!!

Cambelt has been changed recently, only 48k on the clock - as far as I understand it there's only one belt which drives everything so I think its safe to rule that out. There really isn't too much more that it could be other than the compressor is there?
