Craig, my man.........

UNDER no circumstances (that I am aware of!) you should EVER have the RECRC
on while on defrost! (it might automatically cancel regardless of you are
doing).
Defrost should be on fresh air only!

Take care,

On the way to work last week, I needed to turn on the AC to operate the
defroster on my '92 100S. Upon doing so, about 2 lbs of sunflower seed
emptied into the passenger foot well (I had the recirc button on). Further
investigation today showed that the rodent (probably a chipmunk) entered
through the fresh air flap on top of the heater box. I was surprised to see
that there is no screen on the inside of this opening to prevent rodents,
leaves, etc from getting in. I looked in the Family Album, and there appear
to be no pics of the heater box (just of the blower motor housing). Should
there be some sort of a screen in place on this opening, or did Audi neglect
to think of this? I sure hope I don't need to get a cat...
