My A3 with 32,000 miles was diagnosed today with a bad compressor. Much too early for this type problem. I've learned this is a recurring problem with A3s. Any one else on this board had similar problems?

Yes, the A3 AC sucks and has a bad compressor. It never performed very well, but it lasted me 53,000 miles which in some ways was a bad thing it lasted that long. Just long enough to eclipse the warranty period. But after going through a bit of red tape, Audi has agreed after 4 days of review to step up to the plate, stand behind their product, and cover it anyway, despite my warranty being expired for about 3,000 miles. Of course, the timing of my A/C going out was impeccably bad, as it happened in the month of June just when it's getting really hot in California. They said my compressor basically fell apart, and that it would of been about $2,500 had Audi not agreed to offer some goodwill. I should be getting my car back finally today.... took awhile as they didn't order all the parts until after Audi agreed to cover the repairs. |
