Just returned from Eastbourne after driving my A6 with a "warm air" air con system. Possibly needs a regas. Any ideas which gas Audi use?

Hi any garage that does regassing will have the appropriate gas for your model and the newer machines pressure test the system for leaks before they try and regas the system. Audi only use the expensive version which is the same as any other garage but theirs is cheaper there is no Royal Gas its all the same.

Thanks Steve.

I found a little sticker under the bonnet with the gas type stamped on it.

Hello Tony,

Pleased you have found the detail you wanted to know - just a little confused really why you needed to know, rather than depending on the air con. specialist’s knowledge.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi Gareth.

My part time job is delivering new cars for Kia. So I will run it into them this afternoon to get it done. I just wanted to be sure that they used the correct gas for The Audi and not some mickey mouse stuff from South Korea.

Hi even post Brexit all cars sold in Europe are required by law to have the right gas in them, therefore there is no such thing as wrong gas as if you don't use it your system fails in record time as the wrong gas won't work and will trash the seals on the system, its feature in the new gas to prevent old gas being used in later cars.

Thanks for the info. Job done, my friends at Kia sorted it. No charge, just a drink for the boys.
