OK thanksI took off the rubber bits on the side and trimmed up to where they end IIRC
might be worth just using the Elbow grease as its free but time consumingBelt sander could cost more than the panel...lol
I will let you know how i get on if i ever get the car back from the garage.

Sounds good
Its that or gaffer tape the unit to the top of the dash ?
Got the Q3 panel fitted today, pretty straight forward, re set the max temp to 55 on the third button light.
I'm going to find the auto dim pretty annoying, obviously the red panel did it too but the white panel goes really dim.... I have a pet hate for machines doing things that i don't want them too because some guy in Audi R&D thought it would be cool. Infuriates me when ever i stop in traffic and the radio turns itself down...I mean it's my radio !! don't i get a say ?
Anyway, i couldn't get the new panel to snap into place so i will need to look at that, its tight enough that its never going to fall out but i think the panel is slightly different, my old one had an angle at the bottom back that covers some rubber stops where as this one seems doesnt have the angle and seems to push against them so its not quite clicking into place. I also need to work out how to tell it its now in a RHD car
Seems i have a problem now the colder weather is here. On Auto the fan does not work. Looking at other people pictures on this thread using the Q3 panel i see no one else's fan is working on Auto either. This means on a cold day the Climate control is really reverting to just "air con" and can never warm the car up without fan assist.
EDIT
Good news is i chucked the old unit away yesterday and just retrieved it from the bin and its undamaged
Can somebody confirm if this is true for other cars?Seems i have a problem now the colder weather is here. On Auto the fan does not work.

Yes completely covered and extended up to the twist dials, if that makes sense... even the fan speed being hidden when on Auto, is a nice feature.
Ok so this is mine. Full Auto as I always have it. Fan speed does not raise for hot until engine has warmed up.
Good luck, its not too difficult to fit. I still have issues with mine, it seems to do everything it needs to do but i have various fault codes i cant clear that have only been there since i fitted the Q3 panel.
