WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2015 Audi RS 7, 2015 Audi A7 Quattro, 2014 Audi S7, 2014 Audi RS 7, and 2014 Audi A7 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Do not disassemble the Air Conditioning (A/C) unit air distribution housing. A disassembled air distribution housing must be replaced.

The air distribution housing is shown in a disassembled view only to show the installed doors.

The various temperature door shafts are connected to one another via a connecting rod, control lever, and cam plates. They are then actuated jointly by one adjustment motor.

Only the components available from the repair set may be replaced.
