The system was vacuumed and recharged with coolant, turned A/C on the clutch runs but still blows hot air. Kwik fit charged the system.

Hi,

If the compressor is running, by chance do you know both the low-pressure and high-pressure readings?

I ask because it could be a problem with the blend air door in the vehicle. This vehicle isn't offered in the US, but here is a link that explains how one is replaced. Note, the blend door actuator is what determines the air temperature entering the cabin. If it isn't working, it could be the cause.

Take a look through this link. It describes what the actuator does, what happens, and how to repair one.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

joe
