Vehicle model	Production period	Capacity in grams	Differing features of this refrigerant circuit
Audi A2	From 06/2000 to 07/2001	525 ⁺ / _- 25	Yellow colored restrictor Condenser with part number 8Z0 260 401 (403) and index "B" or "C"
	From 07/2001	500 ⁺ / _- 25	Red colored restrictor Condenser part number 8Z0 260 401 (403) with index "D".

NOTE:

Replacement restrictors with different holes are available (yellow colored 1.54 mm, red colored 1.42 mm).

Depending on manufacturer, color of red restrictor may tend more towards orange.

To avoid altering the cooling output of the air conditioner, restrictors with the same hole diameter must only be installed.

A restrictor with a smaller hole (red colored) and a condenser with smaller internal volume were introduced from MY 2002. The capacity has therefore been changed slightly (condenser -70 g, smaller restrictor +50 g). Refer to LOCK CARRIER .
