The Sat Diver Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hi Guys.. Can anyone assist with this .. On starting and initial 30 minutes driving.. the passenger heating system works perfectly .. but after that the whole passenger side reverses itself and when I turn the heating to Low it blasts out very hot air from the middle dashboard vent and if I turn it all the way up to Hi max heat it blows cold ???? .. anyone any ideas Had a similar problem on a Merc that was a temperature sensor Any help would be appreciated and hope you all have a great New year Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audi Owners Club Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The flap motors have been known to go on other Audi models so not sure if this also affects the Q7? Symptoms sound similar? I think it can be a relatively inexpensive fix if this proves to be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sat Diver Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks for the input.. queried it with Audi main dealer and he quoted so many things that it could be but now winter is here it is a case of bite the bullet and just get it done I guess Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sat Diver Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi all.. Just to enlarge on the heating problem with my Q7... took it in to the Audi Main Dealer for a diagnostics check.. and yes your correct it is the Flap Motors.. 2 of them on the passenger side which are the temperature & air recirculation... Audi are qoting me £90 + VAT which I can easily live with however the sting comes when Audi need 12 hours to do the job at £120 + vat = £1,728 plus the motors = £1944 so I may as well get all the flap motors done at the same time just in case another of them go down and I have to dismantle the dashboard again Now I know some of you might say.. well big car big money serves me right and I agree.. however the point I am making is that this motor only has 80k on the clock and it has just been in to the same main dealer 3 months ago for 6 new Injectors which cost a fortune ... this isn't quite the Audi experience I expected .. so i'm defecting.. I've had two X5's in the past and they were faultless so i'm heading back in BMW's direction.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
