I have a 99 beetle 2.0 that has only 37,000 miles on it.last week the ac was working fine then all of a sudden 2 days ago the ac stopped blowing cold air.I noticed today that ac clutch isn't kicking on.I read some post in here that seem to have similar problems.The fans in the engine are coming on fine when i turn the ac on.but the clutch isn't.i checked the fuses and they all seem to be okay.And i also checked the fuse holder on top of the battery and it seems to be okay but im guessing its gonna corrode eventually from what i read.I was gonna try adding some freon but doesn't the clutch need to be on while your adding the freeon?when i hook up the freeon the PSI gauge is reading almost 100,is this because the clutch isn't kicking on?I find it hard to believe the Compressor will be bad with such low mileage.does anyone have any ideas what can be wrong?any help would be appreciated.
