    Was the dealer licenced to do refrigeration? I am electrical trade and did do refrigeration until the laws changed and it is now illegal unless you are qualified.

    Yes, I found that out as well.

    Am giving it a couple more days for the leak to fully appear in the die. Then will be going back to VW Australia with a series of difficult questions. Including the licence number of the A/C tech who did the work.

    I would be a bit careful there before trotting out dash cam footage. Some dealers advise owners to turn them off or they will, it is illegal to record without a warning. Certainly the dealer I am familiar with is absolute on no dash cams while the vehicle is in their workshop.

    I think that's an urban myth. Plenty TV shows do it. Current affair etc.

    Maybe so, but is that more because they don't want you to record any incompetent work and/or over-enthusiastic "test drives", rather than the official reason of protecting the privacy of their employees ?

    "Some dealers advise owners to turn them off or they will, it is illegal to record without a warning."

    This is NOT so if recording a crime. This is Australia NOT the USA. There are examples of this every night on the NEWS. One of the significant reasons for the royal commission into Aged care is the number of videos of the elderly being mistreated.

    Do you have a thermometer? Check the temperature of air coming out the vent when AC is on.
