This car is new to me, dont know if A/C worked previously.
Current symptoms and indications
Evacuated system for 30 minutes, charged with 12 oz of freon through the high side, started engine and turned on AC to finish the charge to 18.5 ozs through the low side, but compressor is not working. AC switch is on and cabin fan in high speed. Hi and low side pressures both stay at 85 so could not top off charge. Fans were not running, dash temp indicator reads ___. both temp sensors on LH and RH side of radiator are connected and appear OK. Rad fans are brand new, have power at the main connector large and small wire. Hi pressure transducer and compressor valve harness connected and appear ok.
VCDS readings - (going from memory so pardon the wrong terms) all AC related codes cleared, none active.
Compressor - 0%, 0 Amps
High side pressure - same as ambient (in bars)
Radiator fan - Actual 10% - specified 0% (fans are new and have power to them)
Which fuse controls the AC system? the owners manual did not say.
What else can I check?
