Some Audi A4 owners report experiencing issues with their air conditioning system not cooling effectively due to an intermittent compressor problem. These owners note that the compressor may engage and disengage sporadically, leading to inconsistent cooling performance. A common culprit is a faulty compressor, which can result in the AC blowing warm air. Additionally, some owners have identified refrigerant leaks or improper refrigerant levels as contributing factors to the AC's poor performance. Problems with components such as the blend door actuator, evaporator temperature sensor, AC pressure sensor, or electrical system faults can also lead to the compressor's intermittent operation. If the compressor fails to activate when needed, it may cause warm air to blow from the vents. In some cases, a malfunctioning high-pressure sensor can further hinder the compressor's ability to function correctly. To resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to seek a thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and address the underlying problems affecting the AC system.
