Can't find an interior blower for my 1994 Quattro 100 2.8E

[TomMelluish]

Hi everyone,

I've got a lovely old Audi 100 Quattro 2.8E from 1994.  Sadly the bearings have gone in the interior blower, leading to horrible noises any time I try to use the climate control.  I tried to source a replacement part, but the one that was sent has a different mounting to what's in my car.  I can see one number on the old blower, but web searches don't seem to find anything for it:

3135102138

I ordered one of these from autodoc.co.uk:
2669I0008 RIDEX Interior Blower for vehicles with/without air conditioning, for left-hand drive vehicles for AUDI 100, A6 | AUTODOC price and review

but it doesn't fit - on my original blower (see "old fan side" and "old fan back") the electrical connection is off to one side, whereas on the RIDEX one I was sent it's in the centre (see "ridex fan").

Does anyone have any ideas about how to track down the correct model?

I've tried using OEM searches such as Blower Motor & Fan for 1994 Audi 100 Quattro | OEM Parts Online - that suggests I should be looking for part 4A0-959-101-A - but that seems to take me to things similar to the RIDEX blower that doesn't fit.  Any clues welcome...

Tom
