Anyone have A/C problems with their 2012 or 2013 A6?

I had the same problem when my car reached 50k miles. Luckily the dealer was nice enough to replace the temperature sensor with warranty even though I was a couple of miles over 50k.

I bought my 2012 A6 a couple weeks ago. When I played with settings at that time I saw that AC Mode menu option was there. A few days ago I was going to change this setting and I could not find it anymore. I checked my manual and the manual says it should be there, but it's not. No mods are done to the car. I'm wondering if this menu availability is subject to some other settings, but I can't figure it out. Strange...

Can you please provide the part number? I'm trying to DIY instead of waiting for the useless dealership.

Not sure if this is related to the OP’s issue at all, but thought it is worth mentioning.
The first warm season after I got my current 2013 A6 2.0 P+ I noticed that in order to get the temperature to feel as comfortable as I normally like it, I have to set it lower (in terms of the indicated degrees) than on my previous 3 Audi’s. I used to leave it at 72 all the time. With the ’13 A6 I leave it at 68, and occasionally I notice warmish air coming from the right side, though it goes away after a while – perhaps just part of the automatic process. Anyway, I thought I’d mention it.

The system temp sensor seems to be 5-9 degrees off, not sure if thats the case with all 2.0 A6 or just mine. Please norw that the 2.0 have a stripped down AC module with no temp screen and no MMI integration, just a manual temp ****.

Drove my A6 about one hundred miles today. On the way back the A/C quits blowing cold. Turned it to low and still nothing. Shortly afterwards the red light on the A/C button goes out and won't come back on. Pulled over and shut the engine off and turned the ignition off. Restarted and still no A/C. Checked again later this evening and the A/C light is working on the button, but its still blowing warm air. Calling the dealer in the morning to schedule a time to bring it in. The car is a 2013 A6 Prestige. Anyone have this happen to their car? Any help is appreciated.
I'm having the same problem with with my A6 12 reg, I've taken it to Audi and they haven't fix the problem or tell me whats wrong with it. i've forgot to mention there's no light on the dash.

Not sure if anyone is still looking at this thread...
I have the same issue on my 2012 A7. AC ice cold - left the car running in the driveway to drop groceries inside, came back out and the fan is just blowing ambient air/compressor not engaging. Researched and found the common issue with the pressure switch and decided to go for it as everything else checked out. $90 for the part, dealer quoted me minimum 2 hours of labor (assuming due to bumper removal)...literally took 4 minutes, the sensor is under the front plastic cover. My 10 year old daughter could do it while watching fortnite videos on YouTube
