Hey Guys,

I have a 2007 Audi A3 2.0T. The other day, after my car was out in the sun for a while I noticed that the blower for my AC wasn't working. I can turn it up to max, but no air comes out of the vents. Where/What can I inspect? I assume there would be a fuse, and perhaps the fan itself.

Thanks for your help!

fuse panel is on the side panel next to the steering wheel. you have to pry that open and look in the owners manual to see which fuse it is.

Otherwise the fan blower could be defective, which is behind the glove compartment.

Some people say the resistor array could have gone bad and changed that.

When my went dead, I took some time to troubleshoot it, and eventually was going to remove the glove compartment but I had a trip to make and it was in the middle of winter and there was snow in the forecast. I got one of those helper fans to suck air from the vent, and after a while, the fan started spinning and has been ever since (past winter). It happened soon after I ran over and dragged a garbage can cover. Don't know if it caused it in the first place.

 

I hope this message finds for after 14 years but what type of helper fans did you use?

 

Funny you should ask, I still have the car, and only last week with the weather in the teens, for the second time ever, the fan stopped blowing. I dug out the helper fan from the under-seat storage and eventually figured out what this other piece was for and how to attach to it (it's a clip so it can grip onto the front window vent slats), and put it to work.

Anyway, its just a 12v fan with a small clip to hold it in place. All it had to do is suck the heated air from the heater core.
