Aircon recharge
Hello, Just thought I should share my experience with you here, I have recharged by own aircon many times over the years on various cars but not my A8, it is actually unusual the fitting on the condenser is the "high side" (large) and this is the charging point, the "low side" next to the heater assembly is not a standard fitting and not intended to be used.
To be able to charge this you need equipment that can actually pump the charge in, many do not do this and rely on bottle pressure.
I found a local garage who did mine for £45 but I also spoke to an independant VW Audi specialist who wanted £115 strange but Audi franchised dealers only charge £80!
Hope this helps
Andy
