Possibly Caig's Cailube MCL(Moving Contact Lubricant.)  Specifically
designed for sliding contacts/potentiometers.  I fixed up a 944
heater flap motor/pot combo to like new by cleaning up wiper arms and
circuit/resistive paths- there was just a lot of crap from coolant,
grease, etc.

If I can get my hands on a bad one, I'd be happy to investigate if
the same repair is possible on the Audi unit...or how accessible is
it?  I do need to get into that area at some point to figure out why
the car sounds like it's about to take off when the blower is
mid-speed or higher...
