Hello. Out of nowhere our 2021 id4 allows us to turn on ac as normal but no cool air is felt. Tried restarting infotainment. Would love this to an easy at home fix but perhaps we need to see the dealer? Is there a known issue? Thanks!
ID.4 Air Conditioning issue

After saying they would get the replacement sensor in a day, now a week later they say it's on backorder with an unknown delivery date. I will see if I can get additional info Monday. Since I didn't buy it from this dealer they won't give me a loaner. They said I should take it to the dealer I bought it from and they might give me a loaner.

Took the id4 to the original dealer who said their ac machine was now fixed. They said they checked the a/c and ordered a new part G395 which is an A/C Pressure/Temp sensor. It is on backorder. Neither dealer could find the technical bulletin and neither could give me the scanners error code. I'm skeptical that either dealer ran a scan. The backorder could be weeks or months. I will report back when the repair is completed.

8/31/2022 Update:
Dealership called me yesterday to let me know that their AC machine is still broken, whaattt 😖.
No fun driving w/o AC. If they can't check the refrigerant charge how can they order the bad sensor I might need which is on back order elsewhere.
How much longer do I wait before escalating this issue 😖.

No more longer, that is how long you wait. An AC machine is a basic tool that any dealership should have. And if broken, should be fixed in a timely manner. If there are no other dealers in your area, I would escalate it now. You have been waiting for a few weeks, right?

Good Sir, why oh why are you sticking with this dealership? As @Plant Peon well cites a [working] AC recovery/recharge system is a basic tool needed by any dealership. Time to move on. 😔

We are having the same a/c problems. Hot air blowing when a/c is on. Dealership here in puente hills California said it’s the g395 a/c pressure sensor. They said it’s on back order. The car has been in the shop for 4 days now . They’re saying they should know the eta of the a/c pressure sensor part by Wednesday’s yet when I search google, seems like parts are available. Am I missing something ?
Jss328,
I did the same search. Audi uses the same damn part. The part is available. WTF VW?

Anybody brave enough to DIY?
This youtube link is how to replace the switch on a Jetta, probably similar with ID.4.
This one on an Audi: Air con pressure sensor G395 replacement
The Audi one it does say to have VCDS to reset fault code but they are not sure if really necessary. Now If you have warranty probably don't do it, maybe when out of warranty its not too bad to DIY.

If the issue is just the sensor, it looks like (from the online DIY guides) no need to refill refrigerant.

I took my ID.4 in last week because AC wasn't working. I got the car in February when it wasn't hot outside but by June and through July it was getting worse. I was out of the country for several weeks so didn't have time until last week to take it in. They said the refrigerant was very low. They refilled it and put a dye in to try to find a leak but no leak was found.

Thanks, I'll ask about it at my next service visit.
Any updates? I am just so curious how this goes. My ID4's AC is blowing hot air and temp in the next couple days are n 100's here in San Jose, Ca.
The part ( 5K0959126, 1K0959126D) that I ordered from Amazon was not correct. It didn’t fit. I knew the part might not fit because it’s not the specific part. I only ordered it because it was same day shipping and it was similar to the id4 OEM one and I just wanted try. But no worries, I did order the correct one (4H0959126A or 5q0959126) from Amazon. This one for sure will fit . It will arrive tomorrow. I will update .
