Default climate control problems

hey guys, im new to the forum. ive just got my s4 and on the way home i was cold as hell so im pusing up temp it gets to 90 or 85 (whatevers hightest) and i let go, it got hot quik so i go to cut it off and it wont, it wont cut OFF, it wont cut DOWN temp or fan.. it wont light up buttons that do... feet, head, winshield, economy defrosnt back and front

auto light is on and stays on, the recirculate light comes on ONLY when you hold the button soon as you let go its gone,

heated seats work fine,

how much is a new controller from audi

and i DID do a search and read up on this most of the search brought back tech articles on how to install or take it out. sticky buttons etc...

IIRC they are around 600-1000 bucks... but I'm not sure.

Default First use a VAG-COM to check the error log and that the unit is correctly coded...

I just replaced mine. Symptoms were similar. In the logs I was getting errors such as this:

Control Module Part Number: 8D0 820 043 P
Component and/or Version: A4 KLIMAAUTOMAT D56
Software Coding: 00160
Work Shop Code: WSC 06325
3 Faults Found:
00603 - Footwell/defroster Flap Positioning Motor (V85)
41-00 - Blocked or No Voltage
01272 - Positioning Motor for Central Flap (V70)
41-00 - Blocked or No Voltage
01271 - Positioning Motor for Temperature Flap (V68)
41-00 - Blocked or No Voltage

Replacing the control unit solved the problem.

Default Stuck switch maybe >>>>>been there>>>>

One or more of the climate control buttons is probably stuck in.
Get some NON RESIDUE contact cleaner (electronics store or Radio Shlock)
Spray the crap out of the seams around each switch, you probably will also need to slip a thin feeler gauge in the spaces around each switch and play with it until it frees up.
The buttons on the right side on mine stick and it's a real pain.
I don't even touch them in the winter.
Liquid spills from cup holder above gum up the switchs.
good luck

Default Hey, It definetly sounds like a sticky button problem!

Maybe some drink from that well place cupholder spilled in there good, and is making a button stick. Try cleaning it out, and making sure all buttons push in then come out. Good luck!
