A TURBO ....... NOW, you tell us ........
(jest ah messen wich ya - that shouldn't have anything to do with it)
Well, I understand about you not wanting to take it back to the dealer, however, an automotive repair shop doesn't give a rip about your car's warranty.
OK, so, no shops .......you want to do it the old fashioned way ... ??
First, I would run a hot lead to the compressor clutch and see if you can get it to engage. Yes, make sure that connector on top of the compressor hasn't become unplugged.
If the clutch will activate when it is "hot wired" there is a good chance the problem is electrical, upstream somewhere......
OR, it is low or out of "gas" (whatever they are using these days).
So, to check that, I'd suggest you run down to the store and buy a recharge kit.
If after re-charged, the clutch engages, that means that the electrical is good.
Now, does the car cool down .... ??
If it does but then fails to cool after running a spell ....... you most likely have a leak in the system.
Now, your car is in the auto shop ........ unless you wish to chase the leak yourself.
OR ....... roll the windows down and let that turbo rip ........
