Default checked my HVAC, same as Greenie's. assume that is so

hot air not blowing in your face. as long as the car is warm inside, I really don't care where the heat comes from. but as you all know by know, I'm easy.

Default Mr. Ricco, I share your easy ways. What frosts me is

Audi`s inability to get their stories straight! The cabin warms up nicely but wouldnt it be nice if the rear passengers were greeted with the same blast of warm air that we up front enjoy? What is the set up in the Benz and the Bimmer?

Default I love your sig pix Plano! Did you use steel wool? LOL

The seat warmers work well but they are no substitute for a rush of warm air. Again, my consternation is with Audi`s lack of proper PR. I treat my clients as if they were family. Just as they came to me, I went to Audi. I guess that I expected too much???

Default Thanks...

Yes, I understand and empathize with your frustration. I'm baffled at how they can engineer these cars to not have warm air to the rear. I hope that it's a control problem, and has the possibilty to be corrected.

As for the photos, it was something I'd been thinking about during my travels. Being a warm, sunny day on Sunday, I took a cruise around North Texas looking for an appropriate Texas setting ;-)
Plus I got to put on a few miles and test the speedo. It's so much fun to take a drive in my own car... and not a rental!

Default The Quad Zone defense! "If you don't have no rear zones, sir, you can't vary the heat back there!"

greenie, why are we constantly talking about your rear? If the temperature in the car is 75 degrees, do the rear underseat vents sill blow 66 degree air?

Default Well ,yes they DID! Tonight, me and my S4 buddy re-synchroed

the heating system without the Vag-Com and Ill be darned! Heat from under the seats at least for now. My battery level is showing 50% so I guess thats another issue. At least we have migrated away from my rear! LOL Kudos to Audis or VWs for Life!
