I have a 1995 A4,and along with sorting out a flap motor issue I have decided to restore the ac, which hasnt worked since before I bought it in 08.
I have sourced a decent compressor,new receiver/drier & orifice tube,and intend to replace the condenser(current one a little battered)
What I would like to know is,with a seeming lack of the early hi/low pressure switches for my model year,would it be possible to fit a 97 on
condenser to my vehicle,for which there are pressure switches aplenty?

Welcome to VWAF

The condenser part numbers are the same;

1995 A4 - Audi A4/Avant 1995 (http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/au/A4/1995/156/50/1745591/)

1997 A4 - Audi A4/Avant 1997 (http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/au/A4/1997/156/50/1745591/)

Double check using the links above (you will have to register for full access - I'm happy to PM you screenshots if you'd prefer) but there appears to be no difference between a 95 and a 97 B5.

many thanks.now I can get a 97 condenser,which,for some reason, is cheaper than the 95.much appreciated.

Do double check with a more reliable source than a bloke off the internet before you spend/waste any money though ;)

Denso and Nissens come highly rated.
