Air Conditioner Issues - 6/27/2008 9:41:47 AM

I have a 2001 Passat GLS 4 Motion wagon with a V6. My air conditioner has never been great, but recently it quit working all together. I think the compressor may be bad, since the engine does not change sounds when the a/c button is depressed. Is there any way I can know for sure before I spend $$ on a new compressor? Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Evan

It turns out that my a/c switch was bad. It wasn''t sending voltage to the compressor clutch so that it would engage.
