This is on a Golf GTTDI by the way...
A/C light comes on, get nothing.
Have it regassed - No leaks, told problem with compressor.
Give compressor clutch 12v, awesome cold aircon
After about 1 minute of enjoying my coldness, POOOFFFFFF - a shed load of refrigerant comes out the engine bay. Leave it for 5 minutes, try again, same thing..
I know there is a controller unit under the battery somewhere as the compressor was seeing 4.2V whether the engine was on/off or the aircon on/off
Any ideas? I've probably knackered something running it for a minute working
