Let's see how to replace the fan of an Audi Q3 or A3: we can find a compatible one for example on E-Bay with the code 405904839797 for 97.60 euros + 14.90 euros for delivery. First, disconnect the battery, remove the bolts of the front bumper, disassemble the fan - which is located right behind the grille, in front of the radiator - which is fixed with 3/4 screws, disconnect the electrical connector and replace it with the new fan; reassemble everything and reactivate the battery.

It is not a difficult job, but it requires some patience with the fasteners; before doing the job, it is advisable to check the functionality of fuses and relays, as it may not be the fan that is the problem.
