The AC kicks off and on usually after the first couple miles from a cold start. Lately, I can tell the AC kicks off randomly during normal driving because I can smell that nasty moist AC after odor. I read in the B5 section that there is an AC temperature switch and air temperature sensor that could cause this issue but I can’t find those parts for the B7. The only sensor I could find is an AC high pressure switch on the condenser but I don’t know if that is causing the issue. Anybody have this type of problem with their AC?

^^ X2 and at the same time, when LO selected, make sure that both radiator fans are turning

If that's the case, then the system must be low. The AC hasn't been serviced ever. Thanks!

I'll double check the fans too.
