Interior Temperature Sensor Fan, Removing And Installing: Notes

2013 Audi A5 Premium Quattro, 2D Convertible, Eng CD CPMASECTION Notes
NOTE:

The same Interior Temperature Sensor Fan -V42- -B- is currently installed in both versions of the Climatronic Control Module -J255- A/C display and control heads ("Basis" -E- and "Convenience" -F-). The blowers run at different RPMs (approximately 2, 500 to 3, 200 RPM on the "Basis" version and approximately 2, 800 to 3, 500 RPM on the "Convenience" version) due to the different component location in the display and control head using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding" function.
