How do I make my A8 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.

Why do I get hot air from my A8 Quattro A/C?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

What can cause an A/C system leak?

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 A8 Quattro’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does my A8 Quattro A/C run on gas?

A8 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 A8 Quattro to smell like vinegar?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your A8 Quattro to have a vinegar-like smell.

What is causing my A8 Quattro’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your A8 Quattro’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Audi A8 Quattro A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat.

We’ve got experience with Audi vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2020 Audi A8 Quattro A/C systems. Steer your Audi A8 Quattro to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2020 Audi A8 Quattro 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 any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Audi A8 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.

A8 Quattro A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2020 Audi A8 Quattro, we’ll also do 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Audi's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2020 Audi A8 Quattro A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Audi A8 Quattro A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Audi A8 Quattro A/C problem you may 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. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2020 Audi A8 Quattro? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your A8 Quattro — without all the sweat puddles!
