[@Iflexis]

Yeah :) i dont know if you do requests but i would love to know how you remove the interior sealing, i want do paint mine black

[@TotalTechnik]

Actually yes. We have already filmed the removal of the COMPLETE headlining including all upper pillar trims, handles etc etc. We will be uploading them all as separate video's, and then altogether as one big playlist for people who want to change their complete headlining (such as yourself). Those will be uploaded before too long. Be sure to subscribe and you will receive automatic notifications each time we upload a new video!

Nice! Already subscribed :) cant wait!

[@TravisTerrell]

Great, now just fine me a unit without fragile "soft-touch" paint. Ha. (BTW, this car you work on seems immaculate. I'm consistently amazed by the great condition everything is in.)

[@TotalTechnik]

Yep, the soft-touch paint is bad. Not as bad as the rubberised paint found in early Touareg's and the like, but bad enough! Yes, this car is not too bad. We get to see all types of condition! It's nive when people love and look after cars that are 13+ years old! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

You can repaint it yourself! There's a variety of suitable black matte canned paints, both regular and soft-touch. Check the Audi forums for details. And you can restore the buttons using $10 painting masks made for these cars specifically that you can just buy.

2014 Q7- Do i need to remove the disc reader if I'm replacing the AC module?

[@akramishmael5604]

B7 model buttons are peel resistant compared to B6 model

Hi I bought recently an Audi A6 c5 Tdi, but there's no power coming to the climate control, I changed the fuse & still nothing. Would you have any idea why is that ? Would it be the actual climate control gone ?

[@robknibb]

Hey, have a problem with my ESP traction light being permanently on and it looks like replacing the ESP sensor is the fix, can you tell me if this is located underneath the climate control unit you have removed? I cant seem to find any other info on its location other than one person saying its here, and another saying its under the drivers seat! Any help appreciated, its an A4 3.0TDI Quattro 2004 B7 estate. Thank you and thanks for the videos, been a great help to me!

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Yes, it is under the climate unit attached to the chassis of the car. Definitely not under the seat :-) Hope that helps. If, and only if, our video's have saved you money, we would be grateful of any support you could provide in return.

Hello,i have a problem to put back ashtray in audi a4 b6 can you explain with a video or just explain to me how to put it back.Thanks a lot love your videos.

[@TotalTechnik]

Thank you, much appreciated! It should just go straight back in the way it came out. If you got it out ok, it should go back in just as easily. Is it the same ashtray be refitted, or are you replacing it with a new unit? Please be sure to support us: please subscribe to our KZbin channel, give our video's the thumbs up, and help spread the word. Thank you!

[@mirneskovacevic2576]

Total Technik just to put te same ashtray back and i got it,thanks again😊

[@TotalTechnik]

Excellent!

[@xxserbkingxx6289]

For some reason my front seat warmers went out (B7 S4). I checked the fuses, theyre still intact! What do you suggest for troubleshooting this issue? They were working fine, and then just stopped... Although, i do remember that sometimes they would take a long time to warm up, and often times the would fire right up no problem.

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! That's odd!! Well, if it affects both at the same time then the heating elements will be fine. If the fuses are good then maybe the climate control main panel itself, especially as you noted it kind of worked before. But weird it affects both evenly as each has it's own control for heat on the main panel. Hmm. Let me ponder! If you solve it in the meantime, be sure to post back the result! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Please ensure you subscribe to our KZbin channel. 2) Please give our video's the Thumbs Up on KZbin. 3) Please help spread the word, the more people who know about us the better!

[@AE-km7mc]

Got a A4 8E 2007, problems with heating/climate. Now always cold feet. What is the best acces to check, via glove box?. Behind radio? Best regards, A.

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there... Yes, most of the climate motors can be accessed by dropping the glovebox, like so: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3jSfHaEl9CnnpI You will see once removed there are motors coloured coded red, green, blue and a circular black one as well. There is also a yellow one in the same location on the drivers side, just drop the lower dash panel like so: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWa1pnaYaql2kKs Once you have access, the best way to test is to turn up your heat, see which motor moves, turns it down, check it movves, change airflow direction, see what moves. You'll then see for yourself what controls what, and you will find that you are unable to get one of the motors to move - that will be your issue. Best of luck!

[@AE-km7mc]

Hey there, what a success! I did as recommended and found three motors and mechanics. Only the upper one worked defenitely. I disassembled the other motors and found it working (12 V battery). In addition I moved this potentiometer like looking thing about ten times from left to right, then reassembling. As soon as I switched on ignition, I saw all of them working. I think it´s fixed now. Thank you very very much, best regards, Andreas

Is it possible to install the heater control unit of a 2007 A3 into a 2007 A4 cabrio?

Is it possible to install a B7 unit in a A4 B6 Cabrio?

[@cenubit]

Is possible move lower the climate panel? I have not enough space to insert the car radio Tablet :( My Audi A4 2004 original car radio is 1DIN.

[@TotalTechnik]

You cannot install double din into a single din hole. You need to upgrade the stereo cage to double din to do that (and maybe also your centre console as well). If you change to double din you will need a new heater panel also, and a new front ashtray (double din version). Good luck!

[@TotalTechnik]

Yes, that appears to be a double din stereo cage.

[@davidnewton2714]

I had a piece of an eating slide beneath the climate control panel (on top of ash tray underneath climate control panel). I want to retrieve the piece but I'm worried about taking out the climate control panel and nav screen above it. What's the easiest way to get to it? Could I just remove the ashtray? Please help asap!

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! You cannot just remove the ash tray unfortunately. You'll have to remove the nav and heater panel - we have produced video's on all of these to help you, and it's not hard and won't take long. Best of luck! Please be sure to help support us: please subscribe to our KZbin channel, give our video's the thumbs up, and help spread the word!

[@davidnewton2714]

What does it look like under the climate control unit on the 2006 A4? Is it a big dark pit or is there a surface that the earing could of fell onto? I'm trying to decide if it's worth taking everything out as it's not that valuable. The piece slide between the woodgrain ashtray cover and the bottom of the climate control unit, in your opinion would I be able to recover it easily?

[@TotalTechnik]

Under the climate control panel is the edge of the ashtray, and below that it's pretty much a small void area. It should be easy to find in that area, provided it has not slipper down either side of the centre console (inside).

[@danniellang7075]

I have 2003 audi a4 Quattro b6 and my a/c stop working and i change the compressor and condenser and the dryer and is not working the is a relay somewhere the i don't know about

[@TotalTechnik]

Yes, there should be. From memory I think it's relay 267. But do research on that as that could be wrong as I'm just going from memory. The high pressure switch can also stop the air con working if faulty.

[@S.Sabriev]

Hello. Can you make a video or tell me please, how to move climate control buttons down? Mine are up and there is a space under them and i can't put navigation system. I have space only for cd player. Thank you in advance.

[@TotalTechnik]

You may need to swap the centre console for a double din version, and you may even need a different climate unit as well by the sound of it. You can adapt the single din centre console to be double din, and you should be able to find a guide on one of the forums covering that if required.

cant find the links.can you please tell me where i can find them

[@LaughingSeraphim]

Does anyone know where to start if the actual leds on these dont go on and off when pressed. I have no way to tell if the ac button us pressed, as an example.

[@TotalTechnik]

That could be a tricky repair, and it may be best to get a used unit from eBay to replace the existing one. Might save a lot of headaches :-( I assume some LED's work and others do not? Sounds like the circuit is on it's way out, or just an LED failure on on of the circuits. It could be quite complex to try and repair, hence a used unit might be a cheap and easy fix :-) Please be sure to support us - please subscribe to our KZbin channel and help spread the word!

[@LaughingSeraphim]

It's actually 100% of the LEDs, and only the LEDs. Iwill still hunt for another unit I think. The amount of work to get it out is bad enough. Thanks.

[@dougpotoczak8305]

Do I have to recode the unit after replacement? If so how is that done?

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! Generally not, you should be fine :-)

[@kristopherwilliams5711]

What about if ive got the heat on full and its still coming out cold?

[@TotalTechnik]

In that case it is most likely one of the climate conrol /heater motors. It's actually quite easy to check and test yourself. We have made a video for this, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKeogGaCp7tlnLc Best of luck!

[@kylecardillo8552]

I have no power to this unit after installing a new radio. No wires were touched or anything besides jiggled in the back. Now no power. Where do I start

[@TotalTechnik]

The best place to start would be remove it again and carefully check all of the connections. Maybe one has knocked loose. That would be the first thing to rule out.

How do you remove the climate control on 03 Audi tt

[@TotalTechnik]

Hey there! We're focusing on the B6 and B7 A4/S4/RS4 models currently, so wouldn't be able to assist too much with that currently I'm afraid (been a while since I've done one). Be sure to support us. Please subscribe to our KZbin channel and spread the word!

[@millsbomb007]

jason did you ever find out how to do it on audi tt?

[@patrickmason6971]

Does the battery have to be disconnected to do this?

[@TotalTechnik]

No, you'll be fine. You can disconnect it if you feel more comfortable, but there's no need. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!
