Hey everyone. i have a 2012 Q5 S-Line Quattro and I noticed the air-con wasn’t getting cold. I took it to get re-gassed and that hasn’t fixed it. The blowers all work and blow air, as do the fan speed settings? Any ideas. Is there a part that needs replacing, is it DIYable etc? Any help/advice/knowledge gratefully received.

We bought our 2012 Q5 Quattro S-Line Auto about 6weeks ago. We love it. It quickly showed up a fault though, when it started not reversing properly. Short story and not uncommon, it needed a new clutch. We finally got it back about a week ago and I've just realised that I can't toggle between "Drive" and "Sport" modes. I could before and but since the work I can't. Clearly it is not a "mechanical" issue as such because the minimal travel on the gear stick suggests it is just a switch which changes the gearbox and engine mapping. Other than this it is driving absolutely perfectly, I'm just missing a mode. Obviously it will be going back to the garage that did the work but does anyone have any idea what may have caused this so I'm a little more informed. Perhaps there's a really simple fix I can do at home? Thanks in advance
