I have a 2002 Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDi and have a problem with the
de-mister part of the climate control.
About 10 weeks ago, it suddenly stopped working, but only on this
setting (all other vents and temp settings worked fine). The fan blew hard and air came out of the top side vents but not from the single vent which clears the screen.
Suddenly, about 5 weeks ago, it magically started working again (I
made no changes that i am aware of) but as of last week, decided to
stop once more.
I had a chat with my local Audi/VW specialist who suggested it may
be leaves blocking a vent (we have a couple of overhanging trees) or
a rain water issue or a hose that has come loose (the sudden working
of the vent suggest this is not the case).
Of course, it could be a sensor/electronic issue.
Obviously, I dont want to get into a 'dashboard out' situation if it
can be avoided. Are ther any tests I can carry out to diagnose the
problem or do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
