Air con not working

I've got a 66 plate A4 avant. Recently the air con is showing as off when the engine is on. When I try to change it to on or eco they are greyed out and I can't select them. 

I can select eco or on when just the ignition is on but I'm not sure if it's actually working.

After a bit of googling it either needs as regas, a new pressure switch or an new compressor.

Anyone else had any similar problems??

Hi I suspect you have a leak in the system as it won't work without gas in it as it won't run the system dry.

The condenser had corroded and leaked causing it to stop working.

Audi dealer and Halfords were useless. I got an independent Air con specialist to diagnose it and do the work.

Cost around £500 for diagnosis, fit new condenser and re-gas.
