RE: a/c

I'm not sure about VR6's specifically, but I do know that many A/C systems 
have a feature that prevents the compressor from running once Freon becomes 
unacceptably low.  This is done to preserve the compressor as running it 
without sufficient Freon will ruin it.  You may have had a slow Freon leak for 
some time which caused the system to finally stop running.

Of course, this is strictly a theory as I am not a VW or an A/C expert.
