Removal And Installation: Condenser: Notes
Condenser is available in different versions, depending on version of vehicle.
In contrast to vehicles with other engines, vehicles with the 10-cylinder TFSI engine (Audi RS6) have a condenser with a smaller interior volume installed. For this reason, the refrigerant fill volume is slightly less in a 10-cylinder TFSI engine than in other engines.
Removed condenser contains refrigerant oil which must be restored to the refrigerant system. Refer to .
The radiator and condenser may have small indentations on the fins even when installed correctly. It is not damage. Do not replace the radiator or condenser because of those small indentations.
