Air Conditioning Issue - Not Functioning!?!?

[n4v4nod]

We took delivery of our Macan 4 today. Delivery was perfect as usual. We did the paperwork and went through features in the indoor delivery bay. Due to my crazy schedule they squeezed me in... rushed it for me, in doing so, it was only 45% charged. They said I could leave it there to charge complete while we did a few errands. Upon returning to driving it home, I noticed that the AC was not functioning correctly. I can control the fan speed, turn it off, but no cooling is provided no matter which mode. I tried everything, even the volume control reset. I gave up and returned back to the dealer an hour before they closed. The sales manager was stumped as well. Tomorrow I will being returning back to the dealer for a service center visit. It's no big deal as the dealer is only 5 miles from me. I'm curious if anyone else has or had this issue?

Maybe cabin pressure sensors not working? Already happened with Taycan, subject to recall

uh oh.....that was actually one of the things i paid attention to when i test drove one because it was noted on the Lyriq that the AC didn't get cold.
but the Macan i drove was good.
I hope this is a one off, gets resolved quickly for you, and then have a good explaination as to why

Anyone else taking delivery having this issue?

I sure hope that the Macan/Q6 do not have the same A/C system as the Q4. There have been a *lot* of problems with the new CO2-based refrigerant system on the Q4. You can read the host of issues here: https://www.e-tronforum.com/threads/q4-a-c-malfunction.4972/page-1

tl;dr: The system operates under much higher pressures with the CO2 refrigerant, and there have been leaks. High pressure + tiny molecule = problems, unfortunately. :\

I have an issue with my Turbo. The passenger side footwell vent just constantly running, i cannot select different air distribution on the passenger side.
