GTI Climate Control

I bought a 2003 GTI Golf lately and have noticed that the climate control doesn't seem to be working. Basically when turned on I don't get any cooler air into the car, just the same as if you turned on the air in a non-AC car.

I wasn't sure so tried it with both ECON switched on and off. Both with the same effect. I'll have it checked out for gas. Thanks
