R1234yf vs R134a — Malaysia A/C Context
Newer TT variants use R1234yf refrigerant, which costs significantly more to regas than the older R134a. Do not mix refrigerant types — this damages the A/C compressor and seals. Always confirm which refrigerant your specific TT uses before any A/C service. In Malaysia's year-round heat, the Audi A/C compressor runs nearly continuously. Annual A/C inspection at 4M Car Care is recommended to catch compressor wear and refrigerant leaks early — A/C compressor replacement on the TT costs RM 1,200–2,800.
