I don't have any answers, Peter.  I think that flap has a mind of its  
own.

I would like to have a copy of Fred's write-up if you have it or can  
link me to
it.  I'm getting ready to do this to neighbors car.

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
