My B7 Passat was involved in a front end collision but has been repaired and ran for 10k miles. I bought it as a Cat C.
I don't really use the AC but did this week on a long journey only to find it didn't work. I found the problem though, the electrical connection to the compressor is damaged. I tried to google about to see if its a replaceable part but couldn't find anything. If I push the broken plug back together the AC works no problem, im thinking of just taping it all up as is.....
