This is video is how to replace an AC compressor on a 2008 - 2012 Audi R8 with a 4.2l Engine. The manufacture wants you to completely remove the engine and tranmission in order to gain access to the components, this is not the case at all! It can be done with everything still in the vehicle. Special thanks to FCP Euro on their great parts and quick delivery! I cant say enough good things about them I have been using them for years with all of my Euro market vehicles.
