A/C Repair Service for Your Audi A6 Quattro

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Audi A6 Quattro A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Audi vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2008 Audi A6 Quattro A/C systems. Bring your Audi A6 Quattro to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2008 Audi A6 Quattro’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Audi A6 Quattro A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A6 Quattro A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2008 Audi A6 Quattro A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Audi guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2008 Audi A6 Quattro A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Audi A6 Quattro A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Audi A6 Quattro A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2008 Audi A6 Quattro? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your A6 Quattro.

2008 Audi A6 Quattro A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my A6 Quattro air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my A6 Quattro A/C blowing hot air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your A6 Quattro’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my A6 Quattro A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your A6 Quattro does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • What can cause the A/C in my A6 Quattro to smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your A6 Quattro smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my A6 Quattro’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your A6 Quattro is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
