A/C question...94 Cabriolet

[Todd Young]

This is normal operation for the A/C system in most "newer" Audi 
vehicles. The A/C system will NOT engage at lower temps, I don't 
remember the exact temperature though.

You do not want to bypass this feature, as it could lead to problems 
with your A/C system.

Just my opinion, feel free to disregard, but then don't cry to the list 
when your A/C system is screwed up.
