🧭 Before you start

Fits: Audi A8 D3 (4E, 2002–2010)

• Special tools named: VAS 5051

📋 Procedure

1. Switch off ignition.
2. Remove the centre console. 70
3. Remove the air duct from the centre console 68
4. Remove the bolts (A).
5. Detach the control motor (B).

6. Use 2 screwdrivers (C) to prise off the connecting element (D).
7. Attach the connecting element (A) to the control motor shaft. [Note: Check the positioning of the connecting element. It must engage in the mount of the motor and there must not be any clearance between the control motor mount and the connecting element.Pay attention to correct assignment of the connecting element ("„red“" colour for left control motor and "„blue“" colour for right control motor).The connecting piece is only to be attached in the position in which it engages without having to exert force. If pre-tension is required to insert the connecting piece, check the mount of the motor as this may be turned through 180°.The control motor shaft (B) has no stop. It rotates constantly if voltage is applied between contacts 5 and 6. When the control motor has been detached, voltage is therefore only to be applied with the connecting element -A- attached.The motor may be incorrectly positioned if pre-tension is required to insert the connecting piece (A) in the control motor.If the shaft is so awkwardly positioned that the connecting piece cannot be attached, use an adapter cable for example or a test lead from the adapter setV.A.G 1594/C to connect contacts 5 and 6 of the control motor by way of a 5 A fuse to a 12 V battery.In the event of the fault "„Upper or lower limit value exceeded“", check the motor/flap connecting element. It must be properly attached to the motor and there must not be any clearance between the control motor mount and the connecting element.Turn the control motor until no pre-tension is required to attach the intermediate piece. The direction of rotation can be reversed by interchanging positive and negative.]
8. Re-install the components removed in reverse order.
9. Interrogate the fault memory of the front operating and display unit, Climatronic control unit J255 and erase any faults displayed "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.
10. Perform basic setting and final control diagnosis for the air conditioner. "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.
