The compressor won't kick in if there isn't enough gas in the system.
My 1999 T5 needs regassing pretty much every year. I've managed two years once but normally every year. This year the reservoir blew a leak at its bottom when re-gassed, so that needed replacement after 19 years use.

A re-gas shouldn't cost more than about £80.
