He told me he checked everything else, and all appeared to be fine, so the only thing left was the compressor.

Anyway, compressor replaced, A/C works, let's just hope it will continue working and I can enjoy my ride. Oh, yeah, cost:

compressor 710E
labor 100E

Well, the joy was short lived. It looks like condenser needs to be replaced too

I'm having a similar issue. Car blows cold when moving but not when it's a cold start and stationary.
I changed the radiator pressure sensor and the F--n FSU ..still no luck.

That's why I was asking how the mechanic determined the compressor IS INDEED faulty. I think he is just guessing and replacing parts.

My AUX fan works on high only, or when the radiator sensor is removed. When the AC is on the car is stationary doesn't turn on. I'm guessing it's either the refrigerant pressure being low or perhaps the clutch not engaging. If anyone has some advice let me know
