Discount ac compressors
My compressor seems to have gone out as well on my 1998 Audi A6 quattro. Have received 2 estimates, and both are around $1200! Both are quoting the compressor at around $600. I've found this new discount compressor at "discount ac parts." http://www.discountacparts.com/addto...~60-01332.asp# Any downsides to replacing it with that part instead of OEM. Car already has 140,000 miles, so hate to drop that much into it if the discount part has a decent reputation.

I tried to go with a non-OEM part, and boy did I regret it. Some of them do not fit well and made a whining noise as well as not improving AC back to original standards. Eventually had to get OEM part put on (after 3 non-OEM). I would recommend having this looked at by an Audi shop or someone who is VERY good with Audi's. Can be very expensive....and cause a lot of perspiration (for many reasons!)

The first thing I would check on a TT is to make sure when you turn the A/C on at the control head, both engine fans must turn on or you won't get the preesure down enough in the system for the refrigerant to efficiently remove heat from the evaporator.
