re: A/C programmer prices?

["QUEK::MOY"@us.oracle.com (Michael Moy (send mail to mmoy@us.oracle.com) 17-Jul-1995 1339)]

PAP and SHOKAN has them for $195 plus deposit. PAP has a $50 deposit and Shokan
has a $30 deposit. They return it to you when you send in your programmer. I
was planning to try the solder fix this week as it has cooled off here in the
Northeast. I think my motor is weak too as sometimes the unit puts out really
cold air and sometimes it doesn't.

On my unit (from 88 5kQ), the motor has a piece of plastic covering it. I asked
the person at IPC (Import Parts Connection) about replacing the motor and he
said that this could only be done for earlier Audi's with the smaller motor.

     I tried the recently posted solder fix on the center (of 3) relays on 
     my '87 5K CS T and it didn't help...must be a bad relay. No evidence 
     of oil in the lines, at least on the conector body and pins. So, the 
     question of the moment: Has anyone found a good price recently on a 
     replacement/used/rebuilt programmer? Or does anyone have a semi-dead 
     unit they would be willing to part out?
     
     Also saw some discussion that these relays were Delco parts...can 
     anyone confirm this, and if so, what years/models I might look for. 
     Also, it appears my motor has bad teeth in one of the gears...it keeps 
     'clicking' at ends of travel. I can push on the lever arm to make it 
     stop.
     
     In the mean time, I'm going for the aquarium piping fix to get air out 
     my dash vents...
     
     Any help would be appreciated.
