WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 23 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S5, 2017 Audi A5 Quattro, 2016 Audi S5, 2016 Audi A5 Quattro, and 2015 Audi S5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

The activation of the temperature doors and with it the radiator housing with the left temperature doors is different between vehicles equipped with "Convenience" and "Basis" A/C systems. Refer to OVERVIEW - AIR DISTRIBUTION HOUSING DOORS AND PARTITIONS and the Parts Information..

To maintain the A/C unit stability, only one radiator housing (the left or right side) may be removed with the A/C unit installed.

Depending on the production date, there are different versions of the levers and connecting elements on the A/C unit. Refer to NOTES ON FRONT HEATER AND A/C UNIT and the Parts Information..

CAUTION:

Do not remove the left and right radiator housing at the same time.

Both radiator housings are support components of the A/C unit and must not be removed at the same time or the A/C unit will become unstable.
If necessary, remove the left and right radiator housing one after the other.
