Re: Climate help needed
if its the climate control unit it could be very expensive, I had one
replaced on a 1996 A4 & it cost £857 to replace it, all ok now, the part was
£580+ vat & £150+vat labour to fit it at the dealer, , i did make enquiries
to check the price of the part, it looks like a radio with buttons on the
front & a ilumunated lcd display, I would have only saved £75 by taking it
to an independant as they would have had to get the part from audi,

You can buy them from ebay for £50 + second hand, and fitting is real
simple, takes approx 5 mins maybe 10 at a push.

I could have got a 2nd hand one for £100 but this would have had no
guarantee, the dealer said there where 2 way to fit it, the quick way & the
recommended way, they could have prised off the wall nut veneer facia
breaking the 2 retaining clips, then reverse assembled sticking it back on
with glue, or partially dismantling the dash to remove it correctly, this
taking longer, I will consider fitting 2nd hand parts only when I but a Ford
Steve.
