I have noticed my aircon not 100%. The fault is actually intermittent. Yesterday it took about 10 miles of driving and it suddenly comes on. Today it was perfect and when it works it works great. Any ideas what would cause this? The fans seem to work ok and there are no fault codes.

Could it be a dodgy clutch on the compressor? Your car might have the clutchless sanden compressor though with it being a '08... I remember seeing a measuring block in the ecu that shows if the aircon compressor is on/off.

Well fecking great. Got it gassed and tested. They said the pressure readings were bad when switched on and the culprit is most likely the compressor failing. Is it worth fighting Skoda over a 3 year old car?
