Glove box out - 6 bolts then fan unclips like a bayonet bulb - give the fan a twizzle - will probably work for a few weeks & buy you time till the ebay one arrives.

Most of the recent Audi fans appear to be mounted similarly.

 

Thanks for that, I've just been out with my torch playing with the fuses just in case but no luck. I'll have a play with the fan tomorrow, weather permitting. :wink:

 

And here - post with fault codes - a PITA but not disaster hopefully

Good luck

Ok, had the glove box out this morning and then the fan. It was a bit stiff and had some debris inside, leaves and stuff so I've cleaned it out and given it a spray with WD40. So far so good. If it happens again I'll get a new one.

Thanks for your help. Saved me an expensive trip to the garage. :roll:

Mine packed up a year ago.

Audi wanted it in for diagnosis but had to wait for a couple of weeks. Took it to my local inde, who pulled the fan out and lubed it. Less than an hour - £40. He reckoned it was a common issue and easily fixed (as you did), but Audi would have fitted a new blower motor for about £400...

Worked fine until I sold the car last month.
