Volkswagen Polo - Airconditioning fault - ajsdoc

I have a 2007 Polo. The airconditioning blows nice and cold but the air seems to warm up after 5 mins or so and I then twist the temperature dial and get cool air again. A few minutes later air becomes warmer and the cycle continues witn a simple twist of the dial away from and then back to the previous point it was at providing cold air again.

I assume this is not a gas/compressor issue as I can get freezing cold air from the vents, it's as if the car "forgets" the air needs to be cold but then a tweak of the temp dial makes it remember again (a very technical explanation I know!)

Any ideas?

Thanks for this. I think it's standard "aircon" - just a rotary dial to control temp the vw "climatronic" system.

Sounds to me like the condensor fans are failing or the de-ice stat is over active continually shutting the AC off in a cycle
