96A6Q

Need to recharge AC on my 96 A6, but can't find the charging port on the low side ;(. Anyone knows the location?

TIA

Audi Logic

it does not have one, 95 or 96 and up = high side only

96A6Q

Thanks, but how to recharge it then?

Evacuate and recharge....through the high side.

Can it be done? I thought you can only charge through the low side. Anyway, I will try it and see how it goes.

Btw: Does anyone know if OBDII sets a code for low freon. Guess I must check it before recharging.

Thanks...

Thanks for the info. Specially "engine off" part.

It's not that expensive to have it done with the correct equipment. Without the right machine, you cannot meter the amount of charge accurately and you risk serious injury.

of course the knowledge to use the equipment is necessary too. I personally find changing out an intank fuel pump to be much more dangerous.

Seriously. I apologize.
