Can confirm this works! I just went to OReilly’s & got the part, a wrench, & a socket, and did the repair right there in the parking lot. Now, after nearly a month of hotboxing, my ac is working pretty much instantly. Thank you for sharing!
What problem did you have? Was it just no air-conditioning or was your fan not working? I’m trying to research this, my climate control panel has no power so I can’t toggle temperature or fan speed
My husband looked up 2013 Audi a4 broken a/c and your video was the first one to pop up. He watched your video, we went to oreillys and bought a new ac compressor switch for 83 bucks and after a year and a half of having no a/c it fixed the problem immediately! Thank you so much for posting this!!!!
@@BPROAUTO95Hi. I have same problem. When I press the AC button it doesn't turn on. If I hold it in the light comes on but as soon as I let it go the light goes off. Is this the same issue you were having and then just replaced the AC pressure switch.? Thanks
Just had my A4 b8 ac gas recharged, nothing, not cooling at all still, workshop wanted 180 euros (on top of the 80 I just paid for the gas) to 'repair' the aircon, found your video and ordered a new switch for 58€, it arrives tomorrow, I'm hoping and confident that you just saved me 120€ or a sweltering summer on the Costa del Sol 🥵 thanks for posting, I'll let you know how it goes 👍🏻
2011 A4 Quattro 2.0L... this video was a lifesaver for me. 15/16 deep socket to remove/replace, 15 minutes of work and $88 at O'Reilly and I have ice cold air again.
Looking at the comments, there are so many people saying different things and have a different interpretation of "AC NOT WORKING." Can you explain what exactly were your symptoms? ...is the AC Working but blowing hot air.. when you say NOT working..so people are thinking there is no air coming out of the vents when you turn it on, that's what Not working sounds like to me.
Hay mate, thanks for sharing. Daughters A4 B8 AC stopped working at 1100, did a quick search, found this video, brought the part, chucked it on and was working by 1200 👌🏼.
hey brother, thank you. i just bought an a4 and am missing the switch. but i am also missing the little piece that it screws into, do you know where i should look to purchase it?
@Benson Yun. Sure! Here's a reworded version: I own a 2017 Audi A4, and I'm having trouble with my AC. It doesn't switch to the 'On' position; instead, it only defaults to 'Off', and the rest of the options are greyed out besides the Off. Occasionally, the AC does turn on and cools my car, but sometimes the entire AC control module doesn't work at all. I've already replaced the AC control module, but the same problem persists. Can you please help me?
If the module has been replaced, read the vagcom, 9-10 times it's going to tell you where the exact issue is. Most of the time it's pressure switches etc..
Replaced switch now ac button light wont stay on lol Compressor still not engaging and low side and high side pressures are both 125 static so it has freon
I have a 2011 B8 2.0L....the ac won't work....we did a diagnostic, also changed the pressure switch, still won't come on, also had a look at the bcm...any advice guys..Thank you
Hey mate my air con blows cold air when im just cruising around but during higher rpms normal air blows from the ventilators instead of cold air will this switch be able to fix it?
@gerrit6388 Hi. I have same problem. When I press the AC button it doesn't turn on. If I hold it in the light comes on but as soon as I let it go the light goes off. Is this the same issue you were having and then just replaced the AC pressure switch.? Thanks
@@sheazadhussain1500 In my case the AC light was on, but the compressor wasnt working so i got no cooling. Maybe you have a different model. Main reasons for a not working ac is los on coolant in the system, bad thermal fuse of the compressor or the sensor. I would try to change the sensor and see what happens.
Tried to recharge my AC, and the low pressure valve read 95 PSI. The recommended range is like 30. Could this switch be the problem? Or is my compressor shot?
This is happening with my 06 a4 as well. AC turns on and blows hard but does not get cold. Tried recharging the A/C with no luck so far, and the car does idle a bit odd when the AC runs. Compressor issue maybe ? @@BPROAUTO95
I have the same issue but still can’t fix it mine compresor is new that switch is new and I already recharged and still get warm air and button keep doing it
Hello, I have a 2018 A6 ,I turned on the AC and it’s blowing air but it’s not blowing cold… Can I use this video to fix the problem? Thank you for your assistance…
hi there? I have an A4 2014 B8.5 1.8 model TSFI... I have a problem with my aircon. when you switch it on. It blows air, but the air only comes from the underneath vents by the feet and by the windshield vents (sufficient airflow by the way). But NO amount of air flow is coming from the side vents of the dashboard and the middle vents of the dashboard by the radio. what could be wrong? thank you for your suggestion.
We just bought my son an a4 2012 and his ac/fan works and then the next drive won't and then it will etc...is it likely to be this or an issue with the actual temp control panel not working properly?
They are all programmed within vw audi specs or they would be sold for that specific vehicle dumb fk. 🤣 got mine on eBay for 6$ and my ac runs colder than my balls on a cold winter night 😂
Hi there could you help me please, I have Audi a5 2017 model, when I try to turn on AC it’s not going there looks like not getting power on AC button please
My Audi A4 2017 AC ON and AC ECON buttons are greyed out when engine is running. Only gives the AC OFF button option. I’ve scanned using OBD2 reader tool but found no fault. Do you think pressure sensor faulty despite no fault code? or is it just needs a regas ? Please advise, thanks
@@wi9401 Yes, I tried £40 pressure sensor part first which didn’t fixed the issue. So, had to do regas which has fixed the issue. R1234YF refrigerant is expensive hence recharge costed me £129.95 from KwikFit in UK. They also confirmed no leak in aircon compressor, only needed a regas and AC is working fine since last 2 months. Hope it helps 👍
Wow!! I have this same exact issue, I also have an 2017 Audi a4. I swapped the Climate control module and it still does the same issue. Did you find a solution?
I've got an A6 2014 with air con issues, I've just had the condenser replaced as it was leaking and now have the air con switch red light on to switch it off and on (it wasn't before). The air con doesn't feel cold and in hot temps (30 degrees plus) it just pumps out hot air. Would this be an indicator it needs regassed or woukd this switch being replaced fix the issue? Thanks in advance for any replies.
@@scoobiedoo1979 ahhh got it. Damn, good luck! I just came from dealer today and they quoted me upwards of $3000 to get it fixed.. yeah right lol. Independent shop here I come
@@BPROAUTO95 thanks for the reply! :) I don't know what you mean unfortunately. :) I changed the pressure switch when there was no cold air and I saw your video. When I replaced it, gas kept coming so I quickly screwed on the new one. now the fan runs unusually often? :) and it is no longer possible to press the ac button, but that may have to do with the fact that it has not been over 10 degrees outside, perhaps?
@@karinlind1773 when the gas came out, that’s mean refrigerant came out, but there should be a valve inside to stop this, check if the valve is damage, I would just replace the valve
2009 Audi A4 , I replaced the climate Control switch and now the Off button is blinking and the AC, Fan button won't turn on unless I press front windshield defroster on !! any suggestions would be appreciated ??
Hi, if the A.c it blowing warm air in the compressor pressure is too high. Could it be the switch pressure sensor fault on my 2017 Audi A6 3.0T because the compressor is spinning and I hear the click when I turn it on but no sign of COLD AIR and gauge needle was all the way up on the red I don’t know if it’s over pressure or the sensor is bad
I have a 05 Audi A4 3.0 convertible that blows air, fans works fine, low pressure side of the system is pressurized however doesn't blow cold air. I couldn't hear or see the ac compressor clutch engaging. Could this part be the issue?
Got a 11' B8,Could be part of this issue or not... I just had the same symptoms you listed here, replaced the switch still didn't work. Replaced AC compressor and everything worked perfectly afterwards.
