Outside temp sensor screwed up
300 miles and back she goes to the dealer for the first repair. So far my Audis have all been pretty much problem free, so I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
The outside temp sensor keeps cycling up and down, and it causes the A/C to shut off. For example, went out this afternoon and when I started the car it showed 111 F on the outside temp display. As we drove it counted down to 3 F and when it got down low the A/C stopped blowing cold air. Then it started counting back and stopped at 25 F (the snowflake was even on!).
It did this yesterday too.

Have a similar problem...
It seems i have to "force" the A/C to start, stop or even adjust in auto mode by setting the temperature really high or really low. It does not adjust to outside temperature like it did in my Allroad. I'm taking it to the shop to have them take a look at it.
