Quick question re AC system

Dealership? Are you joking? I have more faith in the various independent Audi shops I know in the city than any stealership. :slight_smile:

Ross tech wiki for that code…

My guess is you’re low on refrigerant

Yeah either low on refrigerant or the sensor went

That’s very helpful. Thanks!

I was just low on refrigerant. All is good. Phew…

If you get low again, ask them to put some dye in it and check for leaks around some of the AC connection points. The washers are notoriously bad once they’ve been tampered with once. I know JHM puts new AC rubber washers on after installing their new lines, but if they get crimped or twisted at all they can become a little iffy. I had the same thing with mine, replaced a $0.10 rubber washer on the front condenser and all has been good since then.

Will do, thanks for the heads up.
