Default Ac issue

Ac doesn't blow cold when at idle but anything above 1,500 RPMS it blows cold. Pressure is fine, clutch engages, both fans are working, and the condenser is clean.

Any thing I can do to fix this or is it just an Audi thing?

I'm not even saying down th road, I just press the gas in park and cold air from the higher rpm.

Check your secondary fan

so u checked for leaks and everything. I would think it might since the car is sitting at idle the compressor is having to work overtime to cool air and no cool air is hitting the condensor coil. . I thought most ac's do this a bit while at idle.

you most likely have a low charge.... an a/c service is recommended over those top of bottles.

Yea those over the counter bottles arent very good. If u do recharge let a professional do it.
