    2012 3.0T AC issues

    Hey guys, the past few days I've noticed my A6's AC is blowing warm air regardless of what temp setting I have it at sometimes. It seems to be hit and miss at times. If driving at a decent speed, the AC seems to work fine, but when slowing down, maybe under 20MPH or so, it seems to get warmer and warmer. I wanted to ask if anyone knows if there is anything under the car that could impact the AC. A few days ago I was driving on base here in the DC area and I hit a nasty pot bump lol, there idea is the fix a pothole with more than enough asphalt which made a bigger mount on top. I couldn't avoid so and when driving over it, I heard a scrape and thought to myself I hope that didn't cause any real damage. Fast forward to today, I arrive at work at 0700EST, park my car and continue inside. I got outside now, around 0900EST to grab something from my car and notice a decent amount of water which trailed from under my car. I peaked my head underneath and didn't see anything dripping, but it was clear something did during the time I was inside. On a side note, it has been damn near 100-115 degrees in my area recently so I figured that water was more or less condensation. In any event, I spoke to Audi of Arlington and they said I may need a "recharge" of my AC system which is $200 bucks. Any thoughts? I'm at roughly 77K miles by the way. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Recharge is a good idea, it does loose some cooling gas during the years.
    I did it, and AC is like new.
    The puddle is probably condensation if you haven't seen any fault in the dis.
