Glove Compartment Cooling Connection On Air Intake Housing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 23 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S5, 2017 Audi A5 Quattro, 2016 Audi S5, 2016 Audi A5 Quattro, and 2015 Audi S5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

From 01/2008, A/C units which have an additional connection for the glove compartment cooling are being installed as a running change. On vehicles without glove compartment cooling, this connection is sealed with a plug.

On an air intake housing -D- with a connection for glove compartment cooling -C- the tab -E- is approximately 3 mm longer than on the version with the glove compartment cooling connection -C-, be sure to pay attention to the correct allocation. Refer to the Parts Information.

If an air intake housing -D- with a connection for glove compartment cooling -C- is installed into a vehicle, which before did not have an intake air housing -D- with a connection for glove compartment cooling -C-, then the pin -A- on the right radiator housing -B- must be shortened by approximately 3 mm (different versions).

On vehicles with an air intake housing -D- with a glove compartment cooling connection -C- but without the option "glove compartment cooling", the connection -C- is sealed with a plug -F-.

If the vehicle has the option "glove compartment cooling" then remove the plug -F- from the glove compartment cooling -C-.

On vehicles with "glove compartment cooling", the cooled air is routed from the A/C unit through the connection -C- and the air guide on the air intake housing -A- into the glove compartment. The foam seal seals the air guide and the glove compartment -B-.
