Have a 97 Audi A4 with the 2.8 v6. My climate control started to blow only cold air. New water pump, thermastat, colony system is bled, good flow through heater core. Thinking the servo motor for the air flap is stuck on AC but I don't know where the motor or flap are. So does anyone know where this is located or have any ideas of what else it could be?

SOURCE: 97 audi a4 no power/battery fuse?

Sounds like either the battery leads are on the wrong way round, or the starter main cable is touching something and shorting to earth. Retrace your steps and check your connection locations.
Either that or its a dead short through the starter. Remove main cable from back of starter and tape up incase of short. then reconnect battery. If ok now then your looking at starter motor.

SOURCE: Core Support and Radiator Replacement , Audi A4 Quatro 1.8

Very easy - the car is designed to have these parts as being removable for the timing belt service. Opening the car is called the "service position" and involves taking these parts nearly off the car. Use the link below (it's a link to a DIY procedure for doing the timing belt on the car) - it'll show you what to do in order to remove the front clip of the car and remove the core support and radiator.

SOURCE: 1999 Audi A4 Climate Control Removal/Installation

You have to remove the trim panel around the stereo/climate control to expose the screws that hold it in place. Once you do that, and the screws are removed, it pulls straight out and unplugs. No need to disconnect the battery and no tricks to it once it slides out.

SOURCE: unlock procedure for vw/audi

audi gamma cc type


1e2fb0f.jpg The following is the procedure to re-activate the radio if the display shows "SAFE". It is important that the procedure be followed in the correct order.

  1. Turn on radio. The radio display shows "SAFE".
  2. Press the FM1 and AM buttons simultaneously and hold until "1000" shows on the display. Release the buttons. Do NOT press these buttons again, otherwise the radio will consider "1000" to be the code.
  3. Use Preset buttons 1 ... 4 to enter the four-digit code number from your radio card. Preset button 1 corresponds to the first digit, Preset button 2 corresponds to the second digit, etc. Each press of the button increments the number by 1.
  4. Once the code shown on the display is correct, press the FM1 and AM buttons simultaneously and hold until the word "SAFE" appears in the display, then release the buttons.
  5. The radio should unlock and be usable shortly afterwards.
  6. If an incorrect code is entered, the word "SAFE" appears, first flashing and then continuously. You can repeat the above steps to unlock the radio once more, the number of attempts will be shown in the display. If an incorrect code is entered again, you radio will be locked for about one hour. After one hour - the radio must stay on and the key must remain in the ignition lock - if the display goes out, the you can repeat the above procedure to unlock again. The cycle - two attempts, one hour lock-up - still applies.
  7. If you lose your radio code, contact your Audi dealer.

Dan how do I bleed 2004 Kia coolant car temp is good but sometime at idle heater starts to blow cool hit throttle gets great heat

I agree with your logic. Attached vid addresses bleeding. Sounds like at low rpms, not enough flow to transfer the heat. So bubble or maybe a partially obstructed core. There are a couple of vids on clearing a core... GOod luck, let us know if you figure it out.

As i described a few minutes ago about a 1992 olds cutluss 3.1 v6. System has been bled. new thermostat also...both hoses upper and lower are hot....circulation is good but only blows cold air

I need more info. When you set the vent control to defrost does it direct the air to the windshield. and when you set it to floor does it go there. if yes the control to divert air is working. before replacing the control unit you need to find the lines that feed hot water to the heater and check to see if line coming in to the heater is hot and the line returning from the heater is warm to hot. sometime the heater gets plug. if so just disconnect the lines to the heater and flow water from your garden hose to the return line of the heater for about a minute or so this will flush dirt from the heater. reattach the lines and check for heat. This is a known problem for all cars as they get old.

It could still have air in the system, or a leaking head gasket is putting cylinder compression into the cooling system. You can have engine compression leaking into the radiator without having coolant in the engine cylinders.

My climate control only blows out cold air but the rear climate control works as it should

Could be the controller or a faulty blend door.
The blend doors direct air thru the heater core and evaporator along with the vents. The controller uses electric motors to change the direction of air flow.

The heater on my A6 1.8 petrol doesnt get warm just constantly blowing cold air,I've bled the cooling system recently had a new water pump and thermostat fitted and still no heat. the heater control unit...

There is a heater core valve on vehicles that have a dual zone, ( climate control ) systems. The valve is in the area of the heater core.

Something to try. allow the engine to run for 6 to 8 minutes with the heater wide open, then, turn the engine off and reach back and feel the 2 hoses at the firewall that lead to the heater core. If only 1 is hot you do have some blockage, if both are hot then it is circulating properly and your problem lies somewhere else.

Dual zone systems also have a split door between the heater core and a/c evaporator that often stops functioning properly and it can block the hot air comming from the core.

I have a mazda 626 td which I have fitted a new radiator to. Top hose is very hot and bottom hose is cold.When I undo the bleeding nut on the radiator and rev the car a little air bubbles come out, which I...

You may have a circulation problem, check this with a COLD engine, trun heater temp to cold, drain coolant, remove both hoses from the radiator, take a garden hose and put it in one of them, turn the water on, it should freely flow out the other, you may need to wrap a towel around the hose to get a bit of a seal, but it should not take much pressure to get it to flow, no flow? Are you sure the thermostat is out? Good flow? try the same to the radiator, does it flow? If both flow you may have an impeller that has come off your water pump, to test, reconnect bottom hose, leave top hose loosely connected, fill with water, start it, slowly pull the hose back, water should be flowing out with a good flow, if it isn't, you either didn't find the t-stat, or your water pump is kaput. Seems the t-stat is in an odd place on some of these, do you have a manual? look again because it sounds like a broken thermostat that is not opening, especially if your water flow test failed - no flow. Hope this helps

If the heater core isn't leaking it doesn't likely need changing. It sounds like you could have a problem with the heater control valve - a valve in one of the heater hoses that controls flow through the hose. If you smell coolant and see moisture on your windshield (inside) or have coolant leaking onto the floor - you might need the heater core replaced.

4.6 liter has one heater hose warmer than the other. may be plugged core,or is ther a fuse to climate control switch?

Look for a heater valve on one of the hoses if there is no valve i would say its a plugged heater core.
