Replacing the Cabin Air Fan Motor

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Heater core

Open the hood, remove the plastic cover located just below the windshield by first pulling off the seal along the edge; remove the windshield wiper arms (you may need to use a puller) marking the angle with masking tape (this will help during reinstallation); unscrew the screws securing the other plastic cover under the windshield and remove it: next to the brake fluid reservoir is the cabin air distribution unit; then remove the cap to access the blower motor assembly, disconnect the power connector, unscrew the screws securing the control module while disconnecting the other connector for the speed control; free the wiring by disconnecting the other connectors, disconnect the control lever for the recirculation flap, and continue removing the screws securing the motor to extract it from its housing; then insert the new unit and proceed in reverse order.
