Hi , hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine . Well I just took the delivery of my brand new Cupra Formentor and looks like the AC is not working. Now I have booked an appointment with the local dealer but it's only a bloody 3 weeks wait. So instead of looking stupid on the day was wondering someone on here can help me ? I have ensured the AC button is lit and the fan is running. What am I doing wrong? I don't believe it would be a gas issue as the car is new. Someone help me !! It's a horrible to drive specially when the temperature is 30 degrees.

HELP AC not working on brand new car

Drive to the dealership and ask them to show you how to operate the A/C
if it fails to work just park it in front of the entrance door to their showroom, that should get someones attention

So, the fan may be in but is the AC turned on? The switch on the screen should show orange
I bought a new car several years ago and discovered it hadn't been filled with gas .
As you you can't get an appt with cupra,why not pop it into Kwik fit or similar who will tell you straightaway if it needs gas.
If it hadn't then they can charge it for you and you can bill cupra!
I wouldnt take a brand new car with a fault to kwik fit thats a sure fire way to null a warranty
actually in fact i would not take any car to kwik fit for anything….. ever

Lol,it's only to recharge air con,that won't effect anyone's warranty!!!
If it's not the gas that's missing then it's a dealer job!
Kwik Fit is not that bad, at least my local one. I did tyres and MOTs there.
I wonder if you could call assistance and then they will book car for repair for next day. That's the way to avoid long wait for appointment.
Also, did you talk to delivery company/dealer? Was it delivered on flatbed or by driver? Driver should notice lack of AC in current weather. And how did the car passed PDI?

All I'm saying is that I wouldn't let Kwik-Fit near my car, and doubly so if it was brand new and under warranty.
It doesn't matter if it's Kwik fit or whatever garage (even a seat garage) it's just a way to check if they have gas or not in the system,rather than waiting weeks for a warranty check which may not be required,just a recharge.
If the car was just delivered, there's small chance user managed to damage it. Delivery driver could, unless it came on flatbed.
Thanks all for your messages. The car was delivered by a driver. Now The AC button is orange and fan is also on. Rather take it to the main dealer to void any complications later. Will keep you guys updated on the outcome.
Never actually thought about calling assistance. Let me give that a go. The car was delivered by a driver and being quite techy , I told him I don't need a walkthrough. The car was delivered around 9am so think the AC wouldn't have been on.
Definitely have , left it on low and 16 degrees. Still no luck sadly.
