I take it back, mine does NOT look like that as well. jkucz28, where on the condensor? I cant seem to get to it on my just by opening the hood. avant80 great pic, but #? you left that out LoL

 

My 96 does not have a low side port. I charged mine through the high side with liquid without the engine running.

This is dangerous, Do not try it unless your a Professional.

 

did you go to autozone pick a recharge can hook a high pressure fitting to it then boil the recharge can then connect it and hold it upside down

and btw its on the left side of the condensor when looking right at it .. its right in front of the radiator...

 

I did something similar to that. I own my own gauges and vacum pump. I was a Union Sheet Metal Worker / HVAC for 38 years.

 

im just gonna get it done for 50 bucks

 

If you know a place that will do it right for $50 by all means get it done there. One of the charging stations that they have don't come cheap.

 

well i hope its right... i dont know if he ever did and audi... but it is an automotive shop... he knows what needs to be done and says it can be done

 

well ive already have the recharge can, i just need to know where to fillerup at

 

Connecting air conditioner service station on vehicles with no connection on low-pressure end of refrigerant circuit On the following vehicles, no service connection is provided for the air conditioner service station on the low-pressure end of the refrigerant circuit. Adapters are required for connecting the air conditioner service station to the refrigerant circuit of these vehicles. t Audi 80, Audi Cabrio, Audi Coupe t Audi A4 up to 07.96 t Audi 100/ Audi A6 up to 03.97 t Audi A8 up to 11.97 Note[/align] On vehicles with no or inaccessible connection at compressor, remove low-pressure switch for air conditioning system -F73- (jumper contacts in connector for low-pressure switch for air conditioning system -F73-) and screw adapter to this connection →Heating, air conditioning or →Air conditioning. Note[/align] t The tools listed below are commercially available or can be obtained from regional sales centre/importer. t Should it be necessary to measure pressures at switch connections on high-pressure end, make use of adapter from adapter set for refrigerant circuit -V.A.G 1785/9- and proceed in the same manner.

 

Connecting air conditioner service station with adapter set for refrigerant circuit -V.A.G 1786- to refrigerant circuit A- Connection with valve (small valve insert) on low-pressure end of refrigerant circuit B- Adapter with union nut -V.A.G 1786/1- C- Commercially available charging hose (short version with 5/8" thread on each end) D- Adapter with service connection -V.A.G 1786/2- (for connection of quick-release coupling of air conditioner service station -E-) Note[/align] t Assemble adapter and charging hose as shown and connect first to connection with valve -A-. t Adapter with union nut -V.A.G 1786/1- is only to be used at connections with “small” valve insert (standard for connection with valve for low-pressure switch for air conditioning system -F73- and also gradually introduced as of 10.94 at compressor). t Instead of adapter with union nut -V.A.G 1786/1-, use can also be made of adapter -V.A.G 1785/10- (remove valve from adapter -V.A.G 1785/10- or install valve opener in charging hose).
