WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Audi SQ5, 2024 Audi Q5 e, 2024 Audi Q5, 2023 Audi SQ5, and 2023 Audi Q5 e. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Non-approved tools or materials (such as leak stop additives) can cause damage or malfunctions in the system.

Only use tools and materials approved by the manufacturer.

The warranty is void if non-approved tools or materials are used.

Any refrigerant circuit components submitted for quality observation must be sealed (use the caps that come with the replacement part).
Replace damaged or leaking refrigerant circuit components. Refer to Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT COMPONENTS, REPLACING .

NOTE:

Until now, the following replacement parts (A/C compressor, reservoir, evaporator and condenser) were filled with nitrogen gas. This filling is being gradually discontinued. Therefore little or no pressure equalization is noticeable when unscrewing plugs from replacement parts.
