[s-cars] Heater Fan and Core R&R completed, but have some questions.

[Peter Schulz]

Folks:


Took advantage of the unseasonably warm 70F temperatures in New England 
yesterday ( its January 6, what is a honey bee doing in my car?) to replace 
the noisey CC/Heater fan and the heater core in the S6.

Thanks to Fred Munro and his write up on the process I was able to complete 
the entire job in about 5 hours of actual work.
Some things that I found...

    * No puller required to removed the heater box on the 226k mile car
    * Replacement of flap controller motor by previous owner resulted in 
only one remaining unbroken screw tab on the cover $#!$!@##!$#
    * You can remove the heater box without pulling the console per 
Bentley.-It takes patience and a helper to hold the box on the engine side 
while you reach behind the console and unclip the red and blue harness 
connectors to the CC head.
    * No matter what the CC setting, I could not get the yellow circular 
flap to close on the evaporator - had to pull the flap controller motor and 
manually turn the yellow flap so I could remove the rubber boot between the 
evaporator and heater box.

I've having troubles with my Bentley CD (only partially installed). - Does 
anyone have more experience with this motor (again,its located on top of 
the evaporator housing)

thanks!

-Peter
