This is on a '95 S6 which uses 134.
Is there a plain English meaning for the 801 error code?
Bentley says that this is caused by the AC refrigerant high pressure switch.
When the snowflake light is on, in the center console display, I'm pretty
sure from sounds that the compressor is on. The snowflake light cycles
off and on resulting in a 801 code being stored. This seems to happen
when it's 85F or more outside (of course). At lower outside temperatures,
the AC seems to work fine.
Lacking any great lightning flash of wisdom, I'm going to take it to
my local friendly AC shop ... { mutter, mutter ... }
