[s-cars] AC low side recharge adapter

[Stott Hare]

As I indicated to you originally, I doubt that Audi changed the fitting on
the cowl pipe or one the low pressure sensors.  So I suspect the thread
diameter/pitch is the same between R12 and R134.  The sensors are different
part numbers, 893 959 843B for R12 vs 8A0 959 483AA for R134, but I suspect
that is due to different pressure thresholds and not thread size/pitch.

I'll stick with my original assumption that the fitting will fit either an
R12 or R134 C4 chassis, and that you will just be left adapting the quick
disconnect between the R134 size on the fitting in question and your R12
manifold set or quick fill tool.

We are at 7400 ft. elevation and the temperature now is 78 deg..  
Humidity is 35%.  Yes, it's our time of the year to enjoy the weather.

So, do you think that the FJC-6016 adapter will fit the R12  low 
pressure cowl port on the 93 S4?
