Those actuator motors also function as potentiometers, so the HVAC unit knows exactly what the position of the flaps is, usually the tracks get dirty, you can take them apart and clean the crap off the tracks and regressed them, usually when they go funny you’ll hear the motors keep operating when you park up as it is trying to recognise what position the flap is at

The motor with the purple arm is for the temperature and NOT the flaps. I opened up mine a couple of weeks ago, the passenger side stayed cold. I soaked the potentiometer in contact spray for a little while, it's running fine now. Now I have to refurbish the fresh air intake motor, that one is stuck right now. No air flow in the cabin, on circulation I got full blast. So the blowermotor is indeed still working.

So when i turn both drive and passenger dials down to say i set them both at 75 --- 65 right, then the heaters begin blowing from each of the vents. Is that normal or is there a problem with my heating system ? This is my first Audi Q7 so i am learning as i go here with things.... Thank you for any advice or tips you may be able to provide in relation to that if you have ever experienced this what i described here. again thank you.

Jesper P Yes. There was a small crack in my lower high pressure pipe so i didn’t have any freon. The skid plate that cover the bottom of my car kept on dragging so I took it off exposing the pipe. I’ve must have bottomed out and cracked it. If your ECON mode light remains on, then you might be leaking or out of Freon.

Mine blows cold at startup but slowly over time transitions to blowing fog then to just barely cool out of all the dash vents. I believe it is a damper controller or the head unit itself. Which damper motor would affect both sides by adding more and more heat to both sides evenly.
