Self Study Program 665 – Audi A8 (type 4N) New air conditioning features and introduction of refrigerant R744
VAG SSP 665. This self study programme describes the new features of the air conditioning system in the Audi A8 (type 4N), as well as the design and function of the air conditioning system filled with the new R744 refrigerant introduced in this model.
Carbon dioxide is used for the first time as an auxiliary refrigerant in the new Audi A8 (type 4N). It has different physical properties to the other refrigerants in use, e.g. it is non-flammable, colourless and odourless.
The refrigerant circuit continues to operate at much higher pressures. The components of the refrigerant circuit, such as the compressor and gas cooler, have adapted functions. The new Audi A8 (type 4N) also offers new in-car air quality features, such as a cabin fragrance system with selectable fragrances and an air improvement system.
Learning objectives of this self study programme:
Once you have completed this self study programme you will be able to answer questions on the following topics:
- How is the air conditioning system configured for use of the new R744 refrigerant?
- What are the points to note when servicing the cabin fragrance system function unit?
- What are the new display and control features of the air conditioning system?
- What new massage functions are available in the new Audi A8?
