I have been trying to fix my A/C.. I had it recharged and it seemed to hold a charge.. I found the pressure sensorin the front of the car (under the passenger headlamp), But I can not find the other one.. Anyone have any idea???? Also, is there a way to test it?? I am just PRAYING that I do not need a new compressor.

I don't know whether your car is the same with mine or not.

The high pressure side (only used to check pressure) is located in front of the radiator.

and I don't know where is the low pressure side for sure. (to recharge, it could be the one that you said under the headlight).

From Bentley publishers, the low-pressure side is behind the firewall next to the battery (not the brake master cylinder side, the other one). I believe they have 2 sensor for the high pressure and low pressure side.

Audi has been known to have small leaks in their A/C system which is very hard to trace. The only thing you can do is to let the expert do it.

Don't take my words, below is pictures from bentley manual
