Refrigerant Circuit Pipes And Hoses
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi SQ7, 2024 Audi Q7, 2023 Audi SQ7, and 2023 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The mixture of refrigerant oil and refrigerant R134a corrodes certain metals (such as copper) and alloys, and dissolves some hose materials. Therefore use original replacement parts only.
Pipes and hoses are joined by threaded connections or by special connectors.
NOTE:
Note the tightening specifications for threaded connections and use the appropriate release tools for connectors.
