AC - No cold,very little cold, air when idling
98 A6 Quattro, 141K
The AC was recharged about a year ago and works great when the car is moving. But when I am at a stop sign or a red light, the AC air does not blow very cold air. Any ideas what it could be, or is the AC just old?
Thanks

You may have a reciever/dryer that is contaminated, restricting refrigerant flow at lower speeds, or your inline filter in the system. Possibly both. Were they both replaced at the service? They are both critical items for low-rpm velocity of refrigerant.

In any case, if the fane works, make sure its actually moving enough air. Check your belt to make sure its not slipping (though I doubt it), and make sure your condenser coil is free and unclogged. Theres not much else other than low on refrigerant.
