Evaporator housing drain, checking
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 17 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi S4, 2009 Audi A4, 2008 Audi S4, 2008 Audi RS 4, and 2008 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Check routing of evaporator hose; it must not be twisted or crushed.
- Remove evaporator valve and evaporator hose → Evaporator housing drain, removing and installing .
- In area of hole - E - check gap between noise insulation mat and floor panel (noise insulation mat must not make contact with installed evaporator valve).
- Check evaporator valve - C - ; it must not be gummed up with wax or underseal.
NOTE:
- There is no flap at the evaporator valve - C -. The flap function is assumed by a coil formed by the valve.
- Check for contamination of evaporator hose - B - (pay attention to oval cross-section of hose - D -) and clean if necessary.
- Use a piece of wire to check for contamination of evaporator of air conditioner - F - and clean if necessary.
- In the event of moisture in the passenger compartment:
- Check passenger compartment forced air extraction (via luggage compartment) → Air extraction vent, checking .
- Check signal for recognition of wiper operation at operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255.
- Check dust and pollen filter for contamination and corresponding cover for correct installation → Dust and pollen filter element, removing and installing .
- Check the various control motors and the corresponding levers. Pay particular attention to position of Air Flow Flap Motor V71 and Recirculation Flap Motor V113 as well as the relevant flaps.
- Check measured value of Evaporator Vent Temperature Sensor G263 → Read Measuring Value Block (function 08) (Reading measuring value block, display group "010").
- If the sensor measured value is too low under the usage conditions described by the customer (colder than 0 °C for lengthy period at ambient temperature above 0 °C), pay attention to notes on checking cooling output → A/C refrigerant system, testing .
- If the measured value of the Evaporator Vent Temperature Sensor G263 is too high under the usage conditions described by the customer (greater than e.g. 10 °C although air conditioner is functioning properly), check the Evaporator Vent Temperature Sensor G263 (incorrect measured value can cause evaporator to ice up).
