A/C regassed still not blowing cold

If the fans don't cool the gas then what purpose to they serve???

Thanks for the replies! I'll have to get out and have someone flick the ac on go me to check all this!

I am talking about the 2 big thermo fans behind the radiator. The ac gets its power from the low speed circuit.
Their job is to draw air through the radiator, and consequently through the ac condenser, so yes i guess they do consequently cool the ag

The fans dont cool the gas, it's that the power feed for the ac compressor comes from the slow fan circuit.

here is a fan check, ignore the type of car, still the same operation:

Here is how you can fix the fans:
Fan Failures are often repairable - TDIClub Forums

And here is the way I am doing it, Instead of replacing the fan resistors (bigger job than it sounds) or buying new fans (which will still have crap resistors which will burn out over time again, and cost heaps...) you bypass the fan resistors and put two new big beefy ones in circuit. Total cost to me was $8 for the resistors (from China), $5 for scrap aluminium and I had the wire, hooking mine up tomorrow...
This fan repair modification was developed for a 2002 model V5 Golf, it will probably be OK for other Golf models especially the V6

let us know how you go with the resistors! looks like the easiest option

checked my fans last night, couldn't get them to spin after numerous times getting someone to flick the A/C on and off. Got them to spin only once, but not for long. Is it weird that neither of them spun?

[Stan]

not wierd, broken, with the car running, and the ac on, both fans should spin

Testing the fans is easy watch this video VW Golf Mk3 VR6 - How to Test Radiator Fan - YouTube
If they do low and high the problem is not the fan but something else.

[Stan]

low and high problem is something else, the temp sender to the fans or the fan control module.
No fans at all - fuse or fan resistors, or dud fans.
I have one fans working, one not- one dud resistor, if this keeps up, the second one eventually goes and you lose the lot - fans and ac

where is the temp sendor for the fans? or are you refering to the normal temp sensor?
my fans spin but on and off and no aircon.

[Stan]

i think the temp sensor is a 3 pin plug that is on the bottom left of the radiator area. check my links above, some great info there
