How to Remove and Replace the Cabin Fan on the Audi A3 8P Version

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Blower motor

If the cabin fan on the Audi A3 is not working, first check that the fuse is not blown. The fuse box for the cabin is located on the side of the dashboard, and the problematic fuse is #F22, which in this case was fine, so we must replace the fan. It’s not difficult, as shown by our YouTuber. We do need to remove the glove compartment, but there are only three screws at the top and three at the bottom. To remove the fan, we need to take off a small rod, after which we can unscrew the fan and disconnect the connector. If you want to buy a new one, it costs about £60.00 (+ shipping costs) on major e-commerce platforms, or you can do like our friend who bought a used one. All that’s left is to reassemble everything and the job is done.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
