    I too am experiencing a problem with my AC.
    I did check for leaks, but cannot find any. My issue is that the system works, but I get a wierd surging that actaully moves my RPM's when idiling. Any thoughts?

    Do you have your climate control on automatic? The compressor automatically comes on and off. At an idle, you will see a rise in the rpm when the compressor comes on and a drop as it goes off. Now depending on how much it fluctuates it could be something else.

    Careful with that. Many owners have reported that while stopped in traffic, that surge can actually move you forward unless you have a heavy foot on the brake. I can vouch for that. I think the surge is normal - just much more pronounced in the VX for some reason.

    No, climate control was not on.
    I first noticed the surge when the Dragon was parked, and as said, it was actually moving the VX....
    Wierd.
    Best,
