Sheesh, you guys are too fast for me - the digest arrives and in five seconds there are four 
identical answers to the problem . . .

Well now there are five - defrost door is stuck, return spring is broken, or mount for return spring 
is broken off.

I think Audi has an official repair kit for this - on my 5K, I used a length of the perforated flat 
steel that you use on the back of car radios, made a new spring perch, hooked the spring to it and 
(exact same) problem solved.

Cost $0.00 and some skinned knuckles - access is difficult and the fins on the heater core are sharp.


Cody Forbes has the 5K these days, I think he's parting it out (sob).
