    Aaaaargh wet footwell!

    Cheers Chris! Problem diagnosed, I think. Went out for a smoke at tea break, pulled the scuttle cover off and it's swimming with water, so looks like I have a blocked drain. Happily my blower motor seems to have dried out enough to work again as well! I'll need to whip the battery out, soak up...

    Aaaaargh wet footwell!

    Just found out that the blower has stopped working as well, and the climatronic is doing the same strange display as it did the last time the blower blew a fuse - d'ya think it could be leaking through the pollen filter due to a blocked scuttle drain, down through (fusing) the blower motor, and...

    Aaaaargh wet footwell!

    Was getting some stuff out of the back seat and noticed that my rear driver's side footwell is absolutely sodden! I can't see where the water could be coming from, no sunroof or anythin - is there a common leak spot that ends up at the back? Like maybe a leak under the front scuttle works it's...

    No air from heater vents, climate display acting oddly?

    Found an American fusebox diagram on the net - suggested that it would be a 30A fuse. So went looking, found 3 of them, one burnt out and tada! Working blowers! Also replaced the burnt out 15A one and tada! Working cigarette ligher socket! Audi's own fusebox guide was wrong. Very chuffed, all...

    No air from heater vents, climate display acting oddly?

    Aye, that'll probably have to be the next step - it's never been noisy so I hope the fan is OK and it's just the brushes. Still befuddled by the module display though, maybe when it tries to spin up but can't (because of the brushes), it does the "count up and down" thing to see if it can run at...

    No air from heater vents, climate display acting oddly?

    Quick update - disconnected the battery for a few seconds, reconnected and no change. Checked the fusebox and found a blown fuse - replaced it (15A) but it made no difference - think it's for the ciggy lighter. Any ideas? I'm stuck!

    No air from heater vents, climate display acting oddly?

    The car was fine last night, but when I turned it on this morning it wouldn't blow any air, hot or cold, from the vents no matter where I set the controls. If I set it to say, 27 degrees, and put the fan up full, nothing comes out but the fan speed indicator counts up to where I set it, then...

    Aircon Gurus needed

    Fella says it'll take an hour - I work in (building) air-con and have seen what happens when you pull too hard a vacuum - condensor/pipe collapse. I'm just going to get him to suck it out, then regas it and add the oil - if it makes no noticable improvement then he won't get paid, simple as that.

    Aircon Gurus needed

    Has anyone any idea what their current regas prices are? I'm sure mine could be colder, now that I've actually fixed it - but it's had a fair few disposable cans thrown in over the years and I'd like everything sucked out and the exact amount of gas put in, so I'll drop by tomorrow. Don't mind...

    Compressor not kicking in?

    Seems it was the condensor fan connections after all - it's now blowing cold! Not quite as cold as I'd like, but I'll take it down to matey boy tomorrow and have him check the gas levels again, in case he put in too little due to the high temps in the condensor (s)!

    Compressor not kicking in?

    Could be - I've temporarily spliced it (turned out to be 4 core) together and the car is now running on "low" in the driveway, condensor fan buzzing away - but I don't know if it was buzzing before! Going to give it ten minutes to cool the condensor down, as I'm sure a 15 mile crawl home with...

    Compressor not kicking in?

    Oh - I should add, the regassing guy said there was plenty in there, but still vacuumed it and regassed it just in case. So no leaks.

    Compressor not kicking in?

    My air-con has stopped working, not sure when the last time I tried it was! Had it regassed and the guy said the compressor wasn't kicking in when it should be. I noticed while looking round the car that there is a 2 (i think) core wire which has come out of it's clip and runs across the bottom...
