Hey, thats great - thanks! Be sure to help out - subscribe to our RU-vid channel and spread the word!

Yeah :) i dont know if you do requests but i would love to know how you remove the interior sealing, i want do paint mine black

Actually yes. We have already filmed the removal of the COMPLETE headlining including all upper pillar trims, handles etc etc. We will be uploading them all as separate video's, and then altogether as one big playlist for people who want to change their complete headlining (such as yourself). Those will be uploaded before too long. Be sure to subscribe and you will receive automatic notifications each time we upload a new video!

Nice! Already subscribed :) cant wait!

Yep, the soft-touch paint is bad. Not as bad as the rubberised paint found in early Touareg's and the like, but bad enough! Yes, this car is not too bad. We get to see all types of condition! It's nive when people love and look after cars that are 13+ years old! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

You can repaint it yourself! There's a variety of suitable black matte canned paints, both regular and soft-touch. Check the Audi forums for details. And you can restore the buttons using $10 painting masks made for these cars specifically that you can just buy.

Hey there! Yes, it is under the climate unit attached to the chassis of the car. Definitely not under the seat :-) Hope that helps. If, and only if, our video's have saved you money, we would be grateful of any support you could provide in return.

Hey there! That's odd!! Well, if it affects both at the same time then the heating elements will be fine. If the fuses are good then maybe the climate control main panel itself, especially as you noted it kind of worked before. But weird it affects both evenly as each has it's own control for heat on the main panel. Hmm. Let me ponder! If you solve it in the meantime, be sure to post back the result! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Please ensure you subscribe to our RU-vid channel. 2) Please give our video's the Thumbs Up on RU-vid. 3) Please help spread the word, the more people who know about us the better!

Hey there... Yes, most of the climate motors can be accessed by dropping the glovebox, like so: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5GoKCNbkth0.html You will see once removed there are motors coloured coded red, green, blue and a circular black one as well. There is also a yellow one in the same location on the drivers side, just drop the lower dash panel like so: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c5RuCb5DCZI.html Once you have access, the best way to test is to turn up your heat, see which motor moves, turns it down, check it movves, change airflow direction, see what moves. You'll then see for yourself what controls what, and you will find that you are unable to get one of the motors to move - that will be your issue. Best of luck!

Hey there, what a success! I did as recommended and found three motors and mechanics. Only the upper one worked defenitely. I disassembled the other motors and found it working (12 V battery). In addition I moved this potentiometer like looking thing about ten times from left to right, then reassembling. As soon as I switched on ignition, I saw all of them working. I think it´s fixed now. Thank you very very much, best regards, Andreas

B7 model buttons are peel resistant compared to B6 model

Thank you, much appreciated! It should just go straight back in the way it came out. If you got it out ok, it should go back in just as easily. Is it the same ashtray be refitted, or are you replacing it with a new unit?

Total Technik just to put te same ashtray back and i got it,thanks again😊

Excellent!

Hey there! You cannot just remove the ash tray unfortunately. You'll have to remove the nav and heater panel - we have produced video's on all of these to help you, and it's not hard and won't take long. Best of luck!

What does it look like under the climate control unit on the 2006 A4? Is it a big dark pit or is there a surface that the earing could of fell onto? I'm trying to decide if it's worth taking everything out as it's not that valuable. The piece slide between the woodgrain ashtray cover and the bottom of the climate control unit, in your opinion would I be able to recover it easily?

Under the climate control panel is the edge of the ashtray, and below that it's pretty much a small void area. It should be easy to find in that area, provided it has not slipper down either side of the centre console (inside).

Hmmm. interesting question, but I would think not unfortunately. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

You cannot install double din into a single din hole. You need to upgrade the stereo cage to double din to do that (and maybe also your centre console as well). If you change to double din you will need a new heater panel also, and a new front ashtray (double din version). Good luck!

Yes, that appears to be a double din stereo cage.

Below the video, you may need to click the SHOW MORE text below the video to expand the info on the video, and in there you will find the links :-)

You may need to swap the centre console for a double din version, and you may even need a different climate unit as well by the sound of it. You can adapt the single din centre console to be double din, and you should be able to find a guide on one of the forums covering that if required.

The best place to start would be remove it again and carefully check all of the connections. Maybe one has knocked loose. That would be the first thing to rule out.

Yes, there should be. From memory I think it's relay 267. But do research on that as that could be wrong as I'm just going from memory. The high pressure switch can also stop the air con working if faulty.

Hey there! Generally not, you should be fine :-)

That could be a tricky repair, and it may be best to get a used unit from eBay to replace the existing one. Might save a lot of headaches :-( I assume some LED's work and others do not? Sounds like the circuit is on it's way out, or just an LED failure on on of the circuits. It could be quite complex to try and repair, hence a used unit might be a cheap and easy fix :-) Please be sure to support us - please subscribe to our RU-vid channel and help spread the word!

It's actually 100% of the LEDs, and only the LEDs. Iwill still hunt for another unit I think. The amount of work to get it out is bad enough. Thanks.

In that case it is most likely one of the climate conrol /heater motors. It's actually quite easy to check and test yourself. We have made a video for this, check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BvEO3LrV2fU.html Best of luck!

No, you'll be fine. You can disconnect it if you feel more comfortable, but there's no need. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

Hey there! We're focusing on the B6 and B7 A4/S4/RS4 models currently, so wouldn't be able to assist too much with that currently I'm afraid (been a while since I've done one). Be sure to support us. Please subscribe to our RU-vid channel and spread the word!
