Audi Q5 fan does not work when the fan is set to the highest level

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my Audi Q5 (model year 2012, petrol engine). The interior fan is not working properly. I suspect that the fresh air fan is defective. Has anyone had similar experiences and can provide tips on how to fix this? How did your garage solve the problem? Thank you!

Summary of the thread

The interior fan of a 2012 Audi Q5 is not functioning properly when set to the highest level. The suspected cause is a defective fresh air fan. A similar issue was resolved by checking the control unit, fuses, and surrounding components like pollen filters and cable connections before replacing the blower motor. It is advised to inspect these components first to potentially identify a simpler and less costly solution.

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2013 Audi A4. I'm not an expert, but I do have a bit of experience with car repairs. My blower motor was also defective. They replaced the broken motor in the workshop. It cost me a total of 365.0 euros. It's best if you give us a little more information about your vehicle, then I might be able to help you more precisely. Best regards!

Hey, my Q5 currently has 109876 km on it. Thanks for the tip! Sounds similar to my problem. Did your garage also check other components or just replace the engine directly? Best regards!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my Audi Q5 (same year, gasoline engine). My garage first checked the control unit and the fuses to make sure there were no problems. Then they found that the blower motor was actually defective. They then replaced the motor. I would recommend that you also have the components around the fan checked first to make sure it might not be something else. Sometimes clogged pollen filters or faulty cable connections can also cause similar problems. Hope this helps you! Best regards!

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely have the other components checked first before I have the engine replaced. Maybe I'll be lucky and it's just a small thing like a blocked pollen filter. I'll check with the garage and hope that the repair won't be too expensive. Best regards!
