Irregularities in the Audi A3 blower - possible defroster flap fault

Hello, I read your message and think I might be able to help you. I had a similar problem with my Audi A6, year 2010. It turned out that the fan control was defective and had to be replaced. The repair was quite a big job because the whole dashboard had to be dismantled to fix the fault. So yes, it was a serious problem, but luckily once it's fixed it shouldn't happen again. Hope this helps you and you can get the problem sorted soon. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. Your experience does scare me a bit, but it's good to know what I might be facing. Do you remember the cost of the repair and if there have been any other problems with your Audi since? Thank you and best regards!

Hey, sure, I can understand your worries. After I took the car to the mechanic, the defroster flap control was actually faulty. I must have had the right nose with my suspicion. Since it was repaired, the car has been running like clockwork again. The cost was €200 - the bill was for the cable connection from the servomotor, which was faulty. It was a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, but now everything is back to normal. There have been no further problems since then. So your Audi should be fit again once that's sorted out. Hope that helps you. All the best!

Hey, that reassures me a little. 200 doesn't sound bad at all when you consider that the car should run perfectly again afterwards. I'll definitely make an appointment with the mechanic and hope that it's just the cable from the servomotor. Thanks for your help and the information! Take good care of yourself. Bye!
