  • Front A/C service needs on 2015-2016 Audi Q3 models

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s front HVAC layout and compare the original unit’s dimensions, fittings, and mounting points before installation. Replace the receiver drier whenever the A/C system has been opened for major service, compressor replacement, or contamination cleanup. Always evacuate and recharge the system according to factory procedures after installation.
