A/C Service for Audi A6 Quattro

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Audi A6 Quattro A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Audi vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2012 Audi. 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 2012 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 suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Audi A6 Quattro A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A6 Quattro A/C Recharge

While your 2012 Audi A6 Quattro’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Audi's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2012 Audi A6 Quattro A/C recharges.

Common 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. Typical A/C problems also 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2012 Audi A6 Quattro? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your A6 Quattro — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2012 Audi A6 Quattro A/C Systems

  • How do I make my A6 Quattro air conditioning 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.
  • What’s making my A6 Quattro A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • 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.
  • Does my A6 Quattro A/C use gas? A6 Quattro air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • What can cause the A/C in my A6 Quattro to smell like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your A6 Quattro creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my A6 Quattro’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your A6 Quattro may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
