Q: How to fix Air conditioning stopped cooling / no response to AC button in Audi A6 (C5)?

Physical replacement of the J255 controller (used or new) and rigorous coding in VCDS/OBDeleven. Without coding, the new unit will not read the car's components correctly. Before purchasing a new J255, check the part number exactly according to the equipment (heated seats yes/no changes the number!). Used from the same model, it can be coded without visiting the dealer - all you need is VCDS and knowledge of the original coding.
