The dealer or any other garage can attach a manometer to the car and measure
if there is any pressure in the system. They can also measure the pressure
on the pressure and the suction side of the compressor while it is running.
This valves they use for attaching a manometer or discharge/refill gas is
under the plastic cover between the engine department and the windsheild. On
the passenger side.
If there was a leak you would probably noticed decreased performance from
the AC, and not a sudden stop.
The compressor itself is on the engines right side, under the turbo, exhaust
and all that. You have to get to it from the underside. You could try to see
if the safety device inside the compressor pulley is broken. See if you can
turn the inner part of the pulley. If the inner part can move and is not
fixed to the rim, the compressor is probably broken. (On older cars there is
a clutch used to engage and disengage the compressor inside the pulley)

Re: Audi A6 Avant aircon stopped
Thanks for the information, i had a guy come round to check the
pressure and he said that he suspects the compressors failed.
If i find that the pulley is broken - can these be replaced or is it a
case of a whole new compressor?
Cheers
