[s-cars] No heat all of a sudden......'95 S6 Avant

[Tom Green]

While you are waiting for parts and the time to open things up, run
down the rumble strips on the side of the road.  The vibration from a
rough road has worked for me.  Make sure you select auto and your
normal heat temperature and turn off the compressor because it can
overcome  a lot of the heat from the heater.  This is only temporary if
it works.  Change the flap motor anyway.
