Update, The story so far dash lights sorted changed the bulbs and all is now ok. The air con however took it into a local garage this morning for a re gas he stopped as soon as he started and pointed ut a leaking pipe but when on to quote me 1200 euros to fix it saying if the pipe has got a leak then its more likely the compresser and radiator hve gone as well all in all it only took him 5 mins to diagnose the lot. Hmmm I ask!!!! Does anyone know if this is the norm its the pipe on the right hand side as you look at the engine that goes into the test/top up point also is there anywhere cheap flogging them Many thanks Craig

David Many thanks for your help will drop it in the garage some time this week for a check over and re gas will let everyone know how i get on many thanks Craig

P.S. All the heating and everything else works fine. was misting up quick in the rain but sorted that after changing the pollen filter thanks to someone who posted on here Craig

David, Thanks for the reply, Yes got the manual A/C the button lights up when I press it however there is no change in idle speed as the engine compensates the main 2 fans on the front dont turn and the compresser doesnt kick in so thats what led me to think the relay I went into Frauds today just to price up a new one just to see what i would be looking at if it was that and they wanted 65 euros ( I work in Germany)!!!!!! How would I go about testing he relay or bypasing it just to test it then i can move from there. Ive yet to check the dash lights just waiting to get a spare 5 mins missus is due to drop tomorrow!!!!

Hi all, I would like to start by saying thanks to everyone who takes time to answer everyones questions on here, You have all saved me a few quid from frauds already parking sensor and brake sensor just to name a couple however Ive scoured the forum for a couple of nights now trying to find an answer to a couple of things before I start dismantling things. 1st Ive got no lights on the dash (backlights) everything else works fine a couple of posts suggest the bulbs but would all of them go at the same time I have checked the fuse no 19 I think it was and that is fine 2nd is the air con should the relays 2 of them i think on level 2 click when i press the AC button and if so how would i check if they are shot beyond that the fans dont turn and the compresser dosent turn as suggested in other posts if they should click then i have a starting point many thanks in advance I have a 2001 1.9TDI 115 with 110000 on the clock Craig
