Good vid mate although i wouldn't use WD40 to lubricate it. Yes it will free it up initially but will dissolve any remaining grease inside leading to wear or seizure
The problem is that the cabin filter is fitted after the blower. I do not know why the hell Vw/Audi engineering did that. Cabin filter should he before the fan, like in the A3 8L and Golf MK4. Preserve the components.
I've just got a strange noise that appeared coming from it when it's on low. When it's high it sounds normal. Gotta investigate. Thanks for the upload. 👍
@@rickymacqueen6690 yes it was the blower motor. I removed it, which was easier than I thought. Put wd40 in and around the bearings then re tried it. It didn't work so I had to get a 2nd hand blower motor. 👍
@@rickymacqueen6690 it's easier than you think. Only mistake I made was the small clip at the glove box that makes the glove box open slowly, I accidentally snapped it. So the glove box dropped rather than slowly glided down when I pulled the latch. Good luck with it 👍👍
Hey guy! When i turn on my car and put my air on max the air blows for about a min or two while making a weird sound then it goes down to about 5-10% of normal air blow. Also makes a «whistling» sound. I feel like the noise when i turn on my car comes from another place than the location of the blower fan beneath the glove compartment🤔 any advice on what else it might be? Oh btw ive got a 2018 a3 sportback, any difference in the procedure on «newer» a3’s? Sorry for the long post. Liked and subbed keep making content😄
Was this an Intermittent fault? Mine works then will cut out an stop blowing any air! . If Turn ignition off then on again it blows. Totally random. Any advice appreciated thanks 👍
Hi John I had similar problem with my a3 last year. These are great cars to work on. Keep up the great videos. 👍👍
My fan works intermittently pissing me right off, I'm going to try this tomorrow 👍🤞🤞
This was exactly my fault. You are the best !!!

AUDI A3 convertible 2008 that same problem. Thanks to you . sorted.
Looks like cabin filter is missing so dirt and dust are being sucked in, causing the fan to jam up. Good video 👍
Really helpful. Top man 👍🏻
Great video pal, keep em coming! 👍
Very helpful.Would have thought that the cabin filter would have prevented the blower becoming so dirty.

Did you figure out the problem?

@@steve323f thanks ! Mine is doing exactly the same thing and found a used blower motor just in case. Cheers !
