Temperature Flap Motor - was [s-cars] Time for a trip west...Update!

[Paul Heneghan]

Hello Elijah.

Common problem for cars of this age.  Have a look at:
 http://www.eveshamsquash.co.uk/audi/climate.html
for my experiences.

Problem seems to be always down to brushes on the flap motors.  If you
feel like it, they are nearly always rebuildable - not sure how long
they last though, so if you can get a new one at a good price, that
might be the way to go.

I've R&R'd two Temperature Flap Motors now.  In both cases, the plastic
black housing (held on with the crosshead screws) protecting them from
the elements when partially disintegrated, but I reused them anyway.
Has anyone priced a new one of these?

Paul

One thing that has been acting up with the car is the 
heat sometimes comes out cold even when the car is warm but only for a 
bit then it heats up normal. Is this a heater control valve going bad?
