How to remove the air conditioning compressor on Audi A4? Open the hood and secure it, then detach the plastic rivets and remove the air intake. Using a suitable socket wrench, remove the plates that secure the radiator at the top. If necessary, lift the car on a column lift.

Remove the horizontal coil of the radiator using pliers, then use a wrench to unscrew the large hose from the top of the car. Once free from screws and hoses, you can work on removing the air compressor in the engine compartment. At this point, unscrew the pins at the base in the engine compartment to free the air compressor, then unscrew it along with the attached belt.

Prepare to install the part in the engine compartment, connect the belts, clamps, and tighten securely with a socket wrench.
