[s-cars] Q7 ramblings

[Ez Veedub]

Alright, has anybody here used the HVAC on a Q7?? Want it colder, turn the 
knob to the left, want it hotter turn it to the right. How much harder can 
that be? I never change the vent outputs, but that not much harder either.

As for all the knob and switch guys, do you also know that when a car gets 
older, its that many more knob and switches that go BAD. Trust me, I have 
changed enough bad switches and knobs and bad HAVC panels and blown bulbs to 
know in my older Audis.
