Airconditioning in Audi A6

zamo27 · 2013-06-06 21:57:30

I have an Audi A6 2003. 1.9L Tdi, and i need to top up the ac with some gas, R134a. Where about is the inlet for this. I took the cover off but have seen nothing?! Should i change the pollen filtrer as well? is this in the glove compartment?? Any advice Thanks

It's a very bad idea to top up with one of the over the counter 134a canisters.

Air-con systems need to be perfectly balanced with oil, 134a and dye, with the correct weight of 134a added, as well as the correct proportion of oil to keep the seals and compressor working properly.

A canister does none of these things as you are literally guessing how much 134a to add. It's also dangerous and potentially damaging to do this work yourself. You need to take the car to an air-conditioning specialist or garage with the correct equipment and know-how.
