Need advice on recharging the A\C system following a simple replacement of the RCV solenoid on my 2006 Jetta with a 1.9L TDI (BRM Engine). I have completed this procedure before with no issues on my other 2006 Jetta, so I’ve had a little experience on the procedure (albeit limited). My question mainly centers around the manifold readings following the upload of the first can of freon. Both the low and high reading seem to remain the same around 105-110 at an ambient temperature of 90 degrees. I realize I have another half can of R134A to add to get the system full, but previously I’d seen the compressor kick on while filling the first can of freon. I’m a little suspicious I may have some other issues in the system (maybe the entire compressor). Are these systems very sensitive to having a full charge (525g) before the system starts to work, or do you think I may have other issues like I suspect? My previous symptoms were intermittent cooling and then the system stopped working at all. Thanks for any advice on my questions.
