[s-cars] Air Conditioning Service

[Gregory Wolters]

Hi Trevor,

My 94 S4 stopped blowing cold July 03 and I took it to
a local tire/service place.  They were not able to
deal with the AC system, probably because of high
pressure line only thing, even though I gave them info
from my Bentley CD.

Then I went to a mechanic familiar with Audis and he
recharged the system for about $100 ($77 labor, $18
parts).  This included the dye thing and no leaks
could be detected.

Well, it stopped blowing cold again May 04 and I went
back in.  I figured I had a leak at that point. 
Recharged for about $155 ($122 labor, $30 parts). 
Once again, no leak detected.  He said to bring it in
as soon as it stopped blowing cold and he would look
for a leak.  He felt that the leak is so small that
he's not detecting it.  (Or he just wants to get some
$ out of me on a yearly basis.)

So, my advice is don't try to do it yourself, take it
to someone familiar with Audi AC systems.
