Hi all, new here.

I'm after some advice regarding my air con. The A/C worked perfectly up until a few weeks ago when it suddenly stopped blowing cold. Yesterday I was able to get under the car and found a bolt and plate was missing from the front of the compressor. Luckily I then found both parts sat in the undertray and reffited. I have come across some posts of others having this problem and when they refitted the plate, their air con worked. Mine doesnt seem to have changed at all though. Can anyone tell me what this plate is for and is there any special way it needs to be fitted/set up?

I have had the system regassed and also havent noticed the A/C fan working if this is any help?

The system has been checked with a VAGCOM and didnt show any faults.

Any help would be much appreciated as its just hit 30c outside!

Thanks in advance
