This is a brilliant video - thanks for taking the time to make it. Two things that would help further (A) video of all flaps working correctly for reference and (B) an explanation of the function of each coloured arm - I know the green is the demister but unsure on the rest. Thanks again for producing the video - really appreciate your work.
great video, my demister one stopped on mine, I removed and cleaned placed back and hey presto perfect and then it stopped again a few months later. this time I disconnected it so its always open. problem now fixed
Thank you :-) A nice workaround. It might be worth buying a replacement motor used on eBay as they are not silly money used. Please be sure to support us subscribe to our TH-cam channel and help spread the word!
Excellent and very clear video. Mine is the driver side yellow arm motor, you're right it is a bit tricky and a low profile socket set would be handy as the space between it and other components is very tight.
Thank you - appreciate that :-) Yes, the yellow one is by far the worst to access, needs a bit of patience that's for sure! Please be sure to support us: please subscribe to our TH-cam channel, give our video's the thumbs up, and help spread the word. Thank you!
My heater went cold all of a sudden the other day, so I've just checked the servos and all is well......on the passenger side footwell at least! The servos all seem to move as they should, however, it looks like it's the driver side at fault. Oh Joy! Thanks for the info, at least I know what I'm looking for and how to replace a servo........much better than trying to follow grainy black and white pics in a manual!

Thank you so much for the video. I have an intermittent issue with fans, so it's not always easy to diagnose. Does anyone have a diagram to indicate what colour does what?
Do you have video of how to remove the opposite side yellow one as think thats where my knocking noise is coming from less its the top one on passenger side
Hi! Very useful and clear video. Do you have one for the climate control fan access? I have a noisey fan just behind the head unit or centre dash grills, it’s the fan that runs on after you’ve turned the ignition off.
Thanks for your reply. The flap motors are moving the complete cycle but not incrementally as per temperature control. On full the motors move to full heat, and then close to cold when moved to 1 degree cooler from hi.
Hi, i had a quick question. I bought an audi a4 b7 1.8t 2005 however the ac don't work. I took it to a mechanic and he informed me that there was no ac compressor on the vehicle. So now am looking for a new one which will go on the audi. I need some advise on where to buy one online and how would i know which ac compressor will fit on the car piping system. Thank you
Did he mean that the car was never fitted with an AC compressor, i.e. the car did not have air con at all? Seems odd for a 2005 car! Or did he mean it's physically missing (i.e. been removed and not refitted)? That said, if this was the case the aux belt would not fit. Sounds interesting!! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

I've gone two winters without heat coming from all the drivers side vents; center vent, windscreen vent, footwell vent and the vent closest to the drivers side mirror. is there on specific motor that controls all these or do i have to change all the corresponding motors? lastly, my engine temp takes a while to heat up, and when it does, it doesn't get to half way until i've driven the car for at least 20-30mins. I GENUINELY NEED HELP AS IS BEEN A REALLY COLD WINTER. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I have a b8.5 3.0tdi and its a bugger for misting up. I took the scuttle off thinking there would be some soggy leaves there to find that my recirculation flap works in the opposite way to how it should. Have you heard of this? When recirculate is on the flap opens when recirculate is off the flap closes which is where it defaults to. Also when the recirculate is off according to the button the fans are noisier like they would be when recirculate is on. Suggestion that the flap is doing the opposite of what it should. Have you heard of this? Cheers
Hi I have a audi q7 2008 and have a issue with the heater when on hot the fan turns off and bk on then bk off and don't stay on but works when on recirculating if I select the windscreen it then continuesley turns on and off agen replaced fan and matrix any ideas what it is thanks
Wondering if anyone can help. A4 Cabrio B6, no outside air coming in... With Econ on and recirculation off, it should be drawing fresh air from outside, right? My problem seems to be all vents shut down in this configuration (or the outside air vent doesn't open). In any case, the fan is going full tilt but nothing comes out... As soon as I turn on recirculation, everything opens up no problem...
Is this valid also for the A6 C6 with dual zone climate control? Mine is blowing very hot air on the driver side when the engine heats up to normal operating temperature. Can it be the heat exchange valve?
Hi there, I know it’s an old video but on my Audi B6 2004 (54reg) cabriolet I have an issue with getting it to go hot, only on max temperature (HI) will it be warm not hot and generally it initially blows hot for about 10-15 seconds as it feels like there’s a build up of hot air and once the blowers start pushing through it drops to almost cold but can feel a slight bit of warmth , any ideas what motor could be causing the issue? would be a pain to take it apart twice once to diagnose the issue and again to fix it, would like to order a part and do the job all in one day Thanks in advance if your able to reply
Loving your videos! So helpful!!! I need to replace the yellow arm motor under the steering wheel on my A6 Avant 2008, (garage says this will take 8hrs to do and £500+ in labour). Is the A6 the same setup as this video and how can i get to the motor beside the steering wheel (typically the really fiddly one!)?

Hi my drivers side right , fans don’t blow hot , I know may be motor , but also don’t have any air con anymore , in all vents , could this be a problem with the motor as well , Thanks
Are all of these acuators interchangable on the same vehicle.? ( so that I can buy one acuator to check & each acuator by replacing each one in turn. So not buying just the green acuator to check just the green one ) I think its just the potentualmeter resistor thats broken in one, and another, the gearbox skips teeth.
A good question, but I think the answer is likely no. You'd need to get the correct coloured one to replace the same coloured one. You should be able to diagnose which one is faulty quite easily as by playing with the settings you should spot one that does absolutely nothing - if so that's the one to change!

@@TotalTechnik i have a 04 audi a4 not blowing hot air when put high full speed i checked the actuator and all of them seem to operate fine. Ii trows cold air like if i have ac any ideas thank u in advance
Hi I’ve got an A6 2008 and the AC is blowing hot... pressure in the AC was low but should still work.... I got a fault code “central vent adjustment motor mechanical failure”, all vents seem to be working but no cold air... do you think it could be a motor issue or compressor? Thanks in advance.
Check the climate motors first. It's easy and can be done in 10-15 minutes as per the video.

Just what I needed to diagnose a dddrrrrrrrrrr noise behind my glovebox when climate control is activated thanks. Are all the motors the same when I find the corresponding one, and what would I request on eBay to replace?
Hey there! Excellent - glad you found the video helpful :-) Each motor is colour coded so generally easy to find the replacements used on eBay. Also, when removed you will find the part number which you can just type into eBay etc to help one the right one :-) Best of luck! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there's a few things you can do: 1) Please ensure you subscribe to our TH-cam channel. 2) Please give our video's the Thumbs Up on TH-cam. 3) Please help spread the word, the more people who know about us the better! 4) All donations welcome.

Thats the motor gear skipping over the next gear, i think the position sensors ( rheostat ) dirty or damaged. It seems to be a sealed unit inside the motors gearbox so i cant fix mine, except to replace it. The A4B5 uses a similar but different unit. Im getting hot from one dashboard vent, & cold from the other.
I took out all of the actuators & cleaned the rheostats & not much difference. I still get cold non the passenger's side & variable control on the drivers side. Also the intake/recirc flaps not moving. I can get them to move by shorting out or shifting the rheostat but if the red ones plugged in, it simply goes to cold on passenger's side & stays there. If I plug the rear upper/mid/low plug into the red motor I can get it to move into the hot position & then unplug it & leave it like that. It's winter here.
What if none move and all I get is hot air? (Ac has been charged) but I get no cold air nor can I change what vent it the air circulates to? (Hot air going to top and bottom)
Great video. I have a problem with my a3 TDI. Heater gets warm after 10 minutes then goes cool. Do you think it could be one of these motors? I have had thermostat and pump changed out or something more serious like the heater matrix?
Hmmm. I would guess likely not the motors - but worth looking as you never know (maybe one is sticking rather than faulty). Yes, I would have said thermostat - but you replaced that already so that should be good. It will be a case of elimination to trace it. Could be heater matrix. Best of luck with it - not the easiest job :-(
Hi i have an issue with my b7 rs4. mechanic has change compressor and re gas already. change the ac switch as well but still no cold air coming out. would you know the possible problem? thanks in advance hoping you could help me :(
Hmmm, an interesting one. I'd probably be looking towards the high pressure switch as a likely cause in this instance (unless that's what you meant by AC switch?). You should go back to the garage as it sounds like they've charged for a lot of work that may have not been necesary, and so hopefully they'd try and resolve to get a happy customer? Worth a try at least! Best of luck! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

Hello.. pls help someone. I have audi a4 b6 . When i activate the AC then its blowing 8 degrees at LOW. Thats ok. But the two middle vents is blowing 12-15 degrees. And the very right one is blowing 11 degrees.. its not cooling enough... do you Think its One of These??? Hope for Some Answers....
Hmmm! It could well be one of the flaps is not operating, or partially operating. For the time it takes to run this test, I'd do this first before considering anything bigger. If you're lucky you'll spot ths issue and it will be easy to fix. If you're unlucky at least you can rule out these motors completely and delve deeper.

Hi my climate drivers side is blowing cold air until I put it on a very high temperature, do you have any ideas the passenger side is running fine, I have run test but no fault codes.
Hey there! This may be the yellow motor on the drivers side. You should drop the lower panel down under the steering wheel so you can see the yellow motor, and see what it's doing. You might see that it does not move until you are pushing enough current through it with the high setting. That would be the first thing to check, as that controls hot and cold to the drivers side so that is a likely cause. It should move in line with the rising temp, but you might see it does nothing, and then suddenly starts to move when one highest tempurate. If so, replace it and you should be good to go. You can get them used on eBay for decent money if budget is tight.

Hey there! Yes, we tend not to put them in too often because there are lots of variations, and part numbers that superceed those found in these older cars. So unlikely to be very accurate. It is better to check the part number on your original one, and then match that up to ensure you get the exact right one for your particular car.

Well, it can be other factors as well, but a quick check on the actions of the climate motors before delving deeper as it is so easy to do and very often is the cause. You can remove the glovebox in 5 minutes, and start checking. If you find a motor that is not moving nomatter what variations of direction and heat/cold you move, then that's your problem spotted!

@@TotalTechnik Thanks for the answer, problem is, the actuator is working interminentley. From some forums I understood I can take it out, clean it, grease it and it might work again. They are no expensive from what I've seen. Given the age of the car no wonder stuff stops working.

I have only cold air on all the passanger air vents in my a4 even when the temperature is set to high, could one of these motors be the problem or would it be something else?

After reinstalling flap motors, you need to calibrate these with VCDS. Otherwise, they wont work properly. Is that right?
great video, my demister one stopped on mine, I removed and cleaned placed back and hey presto perfect and then it stopped again a few months later. this time I disconnected it so its always open. problem now fixed

Do you or anyone know which one this is? Or colour?
Excellent and very clear video. Mine is the driver side yellow arm motor, you're right it is a bit tricky and a low profile socket set would be handy as the space between it and other components is very tight.

Hi what does the yellow arm control
Great video, do you know where it is on an Audi a4 B8 ?
I am looking at the heater flap but it seems not to be in the same location.
Thx for the help
Thank you, great video very helpful
My heater went cold all of a sudden the other day, so I've just checked the servos and all is well......on the passenger side footwell at least! The servos all seem to move as they should, however, it looks like it's the driver side at fault. Oh Joy! Thanks for the info, at least I know what I'm looking for and how to replace a servo........much better than trying to follow grainy black and white pics in a manual!

What does the green actuator control? Is that the demister? That's what I'm having problems with and this isn't moving
Thank you so much for the video. I have an intermittent issue with fans, so it's not always easy to diagnose. Does anyone have a diagram to indicate what colour does what?
Do you have video of how to remove the opposite side yellow one as think thats where my knocking noise is coming from less its the top one on passenger side
Great video well done
On my A4 there is no air coming out od the center, which motor (colour) is it?
The middle one? It that green ?
Many thanks
Hi! Very useful and clear video. Do you have one for the climate control fan access? I have a noisey fan just behind the head unit or centre dash grills, it’s the fan that runs on after you’ve turned the ignition off.
Have you figured out?
Looking to figure out for 2018 Q5. Says flap motor needs to be replaced
Thanks for your reply. The flap motors are moving the complete cycle but not incrementally as per temperature control. On full the motors move to full heat, and then close to cold when moved to 1 degree cooler from hi.
thank you so much🙏
Hi, i had a quick question. I bought an audi a4 b7 1.8t 2005 however the ac don't work. I took it to a mechanic and he informed me that there was no ac compressor on the vehicle. So now am looking for a new one which will go on the audi. I need some advise on where to buy one online and how would i know which ac compressor will fit on the car piping system. Thank you
Did he mean that the car was never fitted with an AC compressor, i.e. the car did not have air con at all? Seems odd for a 2005 car! Or did he mean it's physically missing (i.e. been removed and not refitted)? That said, if this was the case the aux belt would not fit. Sounds interesting!!

I've gone two winters without heat coming from all the drivers side vents; center vent, windscreen vent, footwell vent and the vent closest to the drivers side mirror. is there on specific motor that controls all these or do i have to change all the corresponding motors? lastly, my engine temp takes a while to heat up, and when it does, it doesn't get to half way until i've driven the car for at least 20-30mins. I GENUINELY NEED HELP AS IS BEEN A REALLY COLD WINTER. Thanks in advance.
G'day buddy. Is this video can use on Audi A5 8T( 2011 - 2016 ) ?. I have nosiy flap in centre fan blower
Hi,
I have a b8.5 3.0tdi and its a bugger for misting up. I took the scuttle off thinking there would be some soggy leaves there to find that my recirculation flap works in the opposite way to how it should.
Have you heard of this?
When recirculate is on the flap opens
when recirculate is off the flap closes which is where it defaults to.
Also when the recirculate is off according to the button the fans are noisier like they would be when recirculate is on. Suggestion that the flap is doing the opposite of what it should.
Have you heard of this?
Cheers
Hi I have a audi q7 2008 and have a issue with the heater when on hot the fan turns off and bk on then bk off and don't stay on but works when on recirculating if I select the windscreen it then continuesley turns on and off agen replaced fan and matrix any ideas what it is thanks
Wondering if anyone can help. A4 Cabrio B6, no outside air coming in... With Econ on and recirculation off, it should be drawing fresh air from outside, right? My problem seems to be all vents shut down in this configuration (or the outside air vent doesn't open). In any case, the fan is going full tilt but nothing comes out... As soon as I turn on recirculation, everything opens up no problem...
Is this valid also for the A6 C6 with dual zone climate control? Mine is blowing very hot air on the driver side when the engine heats up to normal operating temperature. Can it be the heat exchange valve?
Hi,
Which would be for the centre windscreen blower??
Hi there, I know it’s an old video but on my Audi B6 2004 (54reg) cabriolet I have an issue with getting it to go hot, only on max temperature (HI) will it be warm not hot and generally it initially blows hot for about 10-15 seconds as it feels like there’s a build up of hot air and once the blowers start pushing through it drops to almost cold but can feel a slight bit of warmth , any ideas what motor could be causing the issue?
would be a pain to take it apart twice once to diagnose the issue and again to fix it, would like to order a part and do the job all in one day
Thanks in advance if your able to reply
Loving your videos! So helpful!!! I need to replace the yellow arm motor under the steering wheel on my A6 Avant 2008, (garage says this will take 8hrs to do and £500+ in labour). Is the A6 the same setup as this video and how can i get to the motor beside the steering wheel (typically the really fiddly one!)?
Thank you, much appreciated! Well, I think you should be able to save yourself the £500 as easily doable DIY. You'll find most of the tips you need for this on our channel for free. Start here: th-cam.com/video/eKFB0fRdUnU/w-d-xo.html

Hi my drivers side right , fans don’t blow hot , I know may be motor , but also don’t have any air con anymore , in all vents , could this be a problem with the motor as well ,
Thanks
Hi, do you know which is the central flap positioning motor V70 for RHD audi a4 B6 and location? Many thanks!
If possible could you make a video on how to remove a throttle valve control unit on an a4 b7 thanks
Nice video cheers mate
Are all of these acuators interchangable on the same vehicle.? ( so that I can buy one acuator to check & each acuator by replacing each one in turn. So not buying just the green acuator to check just the green one )
I think its just the potentualmeter resistor thats broken in one, and another, the gearbox skips teeth.
A good question, but I think the answer is likely no. You'd need to get the correct coloured one to replace the same coloured one. You should be able to diagnose which one is faulty quite easily as by playing with the settings you should spot one that does absolutely nothing - if so that's the one to change! Best of luck!

@@TotalTechnik i have a 04 audi a4 not blowing hot air when put high full speed i checked the actuator and all of them seem to operate fine. Ii trows cold air like if i have ac any ideas thank u in advance

Hi I’ve got an A6 2008 and the AC is blowing hot... pressure in the AC was low but should still work.... I got a fault code “central vent adjustment motor mechanical failure”, all vents seem to be working but no cold air... do you think it could be a motor issue or compressor? Thanks in advance.
Check the climate motors first. It's easy and can be done in 10-15 minutes as per the video. This will definitely point you in the right direction :-)

What is the size or part number for those motor fixings ? M6 x ?
Just what I needed to diagnose a dddrrrrrrrrrr noise behind my glovebox when climate control is activated thanks. Are all the motors the same when I find the corresponding one, and what would I request on eBay to replace?
Hey there! Excellent - glad you found the video helpful :-)
Each motor is colour coded so generally easy to find the replacements used on eBay. Also, when removed you will find the part number which you can just type into eBay etc to help one the right one :-)
Best of luck!

Thats the motor gear skipping over the next gear, i think the position sensors ( rheostat ) dirty or damaged. It seems to be a sealed unit inside the motors gearbox so i cant fix mine, except to replace it. The A4B5 uses a similar but different unit. Im getting hot from one dashboard vent, & cold from the other.
I took out all of the actuators & cleaned the rheostats & not much difference. I still get cold non the passenger's side & variable control on the drivers side.
Also the intake/recirc flaps not moving.
I can get them to move by shorting out or shifting the rheostat but if the red ones plugged in, it simply goes to cold on passenger's side & stays there.
If I plug the rear upper/mid/low plug into the red motor I can get it to move into the hot position & then unplug it & leave it like that. It's winter here.
What if none move and all I get is hot air? (Ac has been charged) but I get no cold air nor can I change what vent it the air circulates to? (Hot air going to top and bottom)
Don’t surpose you know which ones do the back and the middle vents be much appreciated thanks
Great video. I have a problem with my a3 TDI. Heater gets warm after 10 minutes then goes cool. Do you think it could be one of these motors? I have had thermostat and pump changed out or something more serious like the heater matrix?
Hmmm. I would guess likely not the motors - but worth looking as you never know (maybe one is sticking rather than faulty).
Yes, I would have said thermostat - but you replaced that already so that should be good.
It will be a case of elimination to trace it. Could be heater matrix.
Best of luck with it - not the easiest job :-(
Thanks For the reply - I've been told by the Audi garage it may be the heater matrix - do you know if this can be flushed?
Yes, it should be able to be flushed. Do some Google searches and you should find some decent info on the procedure.
Best of luck!
Did you mange to get it done ? I have same preoblem
Hi i have an issue with my b7 rs4. mechanic has change compressor and re gas already. change the ac switch as well but still no cold air coming out. would you know the possible problem? thanks in advance hoping you could help me :(
Hmmm, an interesting one. I'd probably be looking towards the high pressure switch as a likely cause in this instance (unless that's what you meant by AC switch?). You should go back to the garage as it sounds like they've charged for a lot of work that may have not been necesary, and so hopefully they'd try and resolve to get a happy customer? Worth a try at least! Best of luck!

hey bro. you should do the s4 brakes removal and refresh diy..
Hey there. Yes, this is something that has come up a few times actually, and is something we might look at for the future.
All the best!
Hello.. pls help someone. I have audi a4 b6 . When i activate the AC then its blowing 8 degrees at LOW. Thats ok. But the two middle vents is blowing 12-15 degrees. And the very right one is blowing 11 degrees.. its not cooling enough... do you Think its One of These??? Hope for Some Answers....
Hmmm! It could well be one of the flaps is not operating, or partially operating. For the time it takes to run this test, I'd do this first before considering anything bigger. If you're lucky you'll spot ths issue and it will be easy to fix. If you're unlucky at least you can rule out these motors completely and delve deeper.
Best of luck with it!

Hi my climate drivers side is blowing cold air until I put it on a very high temperature, do you have any ideas the passenger side is running fine, I have run test but no fault codes.
Hey there! This may be the yellow motor on the drivers side. You should drop the lower panel down under the steering wheel so you can see the yellow motor, and see what it's doing.
You might see that it does not move until you are pushing enough current through it with the high setting. That would be the first thing to check, as that controls hot and cold to the drivers side so that is a likely cause.
It should move in line with the rising temp, but you might see it does nothing, and then suddenly starts to move when one highest tempurate. If so, replace it and you should be good to go.
You can get them used on eBay for decent money if budget is tight.
Best of luck!

Including part numbers would be nice, im having trouble finding the motors at my local auto shops
Hey there! Yes, we tend not to put them in too often because there are lots of variations, and part numbers that superceed those found in these older cars. So unlikely to be very accurate.
It is better to check the part number on your original one, and then match that up to ensure you get the exact right one for your particular car.
It might be worth trying eBay to find a used one and save some money along the way :-)

A4 b7 2.0L Totally has 4 servo motors? And are they identical so can I order same part in 4 quantity? Share part # if possible. Thanks
Hey there! No, they should not be identical. They are colour coded on this platform - the arms and also the spindles that turn the motors themselves. Take a look at the video again and you'll see it.

So if the air doesnt blow from one direction means that motor is broken and needs to be changed?
Well, it can be other factors as well, but a quick check on the actions of the climate motors before delving deeper as it is so easy to do and very often is the cause. You can remove the glovebox in 5 minutes, and start checking. If you find a motor that is not moving nomatter what variations of direction and heat/cold you move, then that's your problem spotted! Best of luck!

@@TotalTechnik Thanks for the answer, problem is, the actuator is working interminentley. From some forums I understood I can take it out, clean it, grease it and it might work again. They are no expensive from what I've seen. Given the age of the car no wonder stuff stops working.
Thanks

I have only cold air on all the passanger air vents in my a4 even when the temperature is set to high, could one of these motors be the problem or would it be something else?
Hey there! Yes, this is VERY likely to be one of the motors. Get that glove box dropped down and have a play around with the controls whilst watching the motors, as per the video.
Hopefully, we can save you a load of money :-)
