Hi I just got a '97 Golf GL in nice condition with only 62k on it. Anyways, I test drove it and drove it home with no problem. Then when taking it out for another drive, I noticed when i turned the a/c on the car stalled. Then When i got moving some more the A/C would work but had almost a slight burning smell and wasn't cool at all. Could this be because it was overheated? Also, just an hour ago I took it out and it was perfectly fine in the cool weather. Any help?

 

chek your water levels and you fan

 

sounds more like eithera wireing issue or pully system issue. hope this helps
