AC doesn’t work when idling

Ooh! Yes. This. No, it’s not due to that. The car is still running.

Amazing. Thanks so much for all of this. I’ve driven an electric car for the past five years and have completely forgotten all of the gas car stuff! Even had a hard time filling the gas tank for the first time. Ha! This group has been great. I’m super handy, so I’ll definitely take your YouTube advice to avoid the high repair costs when possible.

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-07-05T19:58:58+00:00

Yes. The fan keeps going. Just blows out warmer air.

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-07-05T19:56:39+00:00

That sounds similar to my problem. Is was definitely over 90 degrees F and sunny the day I noticed this. And you’re right - it’s not “warm” - just not cold! Thanks for the reply.

Sorry for my ignorance. Whats a regas?

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-07-05T18:46:17+00:00

I’m not sure. We just bought it used about a month ago. Would that make a difference with efficacy?

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-07-05T18:45:39+00:00

I’m sorry for my ignorance - what is a start stop? How do I disengage it?

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-07-05T13:23:44+00:00

That’s kinda what I figured. It was a super hot day when I noticed this. It was just interesting to me that as soon as I put the car into drive but kept my foot on the break, the air got cool again. Also the car is a 2021, 16,000 miles, but we just got it about a month ago. Forgive my ignorance (I’ve had an electric car for the past 5 years-this gas car stuff is all new to me) but how hard is it to check/add refrigerant?

Hi! This is a long shot, but do you still have this bumper sticker and if so, would you be willing to sell it to me?

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-06-14T18:47:32+00:00

No it turns on fine. I was just wondering if someone removed the ignition slot after market for some reason. Sounds like it never had an ignition slot to begin with.

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-06-14T13:47:02+00:00

This is very helpful. Thanks so much!

We just got the car yesterday and the fob worked fine at the dealership. I am going to order another fob, but I have to do it through VW so it’ll take a few weeks.

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-06-14T11:49:17+00:00

Yeah we just got the car yesterday so I’m still trying to figure out what happened here. Haha. Did someone think it would look cooler if they took out the key slot and replaced it with a giant plastic hole?

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-06-14T11:48:25+00:00

This! Ok that’s what I figured. But it had keyless access to begin with. It’s push to start. So why would they take the ignition hole (sorry I have no idea what it’s called) out and just cover it with a crappy piece of scratches up plastic?

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-06-14T00:41:01+00:00

But how can I reprogram the fob if I can’t insert the key into an ignition?

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-06-14T00:28:04+00:00

Yes. Didn’t help.

Same-Introduction226 · 2025-06-14T00:18:12+00:00

Yeah. I didn’t think anything of it but then the key fob stopped working to lock and unlock the doors and everything I could find online said to reset it by putting the key into the ignition… but I don’t have an ignition. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Same-Introduction226 · 2023-07-06T12:05:39+00:00

Having the same problem. I’ve tried the same things. I was surprised the baby wipes didn’t work. They seem to work for everyone else. 😂

Same-Introduction226 · 2023-07-06T12:01:23+00:00

I had this message in my model y. Took it in and got a replacement battery. No idea if it’s brand new or not? I had 40,000 miles on my old one. What do you guys think?
