Hello.

I have a '96 P reg A6 2.6. When the weather is really hot (rare in the UK
!) I can hear a ticking coming from the dash. When this noise occurs, I can
see the charge dial moving. I know it's connected with the aircon but is it
normal ? It doesn't cause any problems and only happens in the really hot
weather.

It definitely sounds like a relay clicking on the drivers side and at each
click, I can see the charge indicator move to the left.
