RE: ac wont shut off - thanks and another question

Ian,

Thanks for the info.  That's exactly what's happening.  So this is
normal?  Funny, because this is the first time I've encountered this
behavior, although admittedly, the other cars weren't Audi's.

That clicking is your A/C compressor being told to compress by your A/C
controller. It normally compresses for 5 seconds or so, then coasts for 10
seconds or so, the compresses for 5 seconds or so, then, well, you get the
picture. I bet you notice a deceleration every time it clicks, right? Try
to see if your car accelerates about 5 seconds after it decelerates...
