At the same time my aircon was acting weird and kept turning on and off constantly until it stopped working. At first I was told it needed regassing so I went to Nationwide Autocentre to get it regassed but they couldn't regas it.

Anyways, after spending 3 hours at Audi today they replaced the IMF and the aircon was working, so it seemed the IMF affected the aircon.

I didn't know this and couldn't find any information about it so thought it would be helpful for anyone with aircon not working and an IMF fault.
 
I've moved this into here as it's be of more use to people here, and it's probably not specific to the A3.

Cheers.
