Hello All!

I've recently purchased a 1998 A6 2.4, and am puzzled by a servo type
noise that is coming from behind the dashboard (sounds like a motor is
moving something back and forwards). I only realy notice it when the
engine is idling, but it's quite intrusive. I hear the noise whether I
have the air con unit switched on or off, and it's pretty much
constant.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers - Graham

 

Normal. It is also normal to drive you nuts. Mine does it too. Of course
when it stops doing it, it will cost me 750 dollars.

Some little stepper motor buzzing away.

Thanks Eddie! Good to know that it's a feature and not a fault. I hope
they engineered the part well because it certainly does a lot of work.

Out of idle interest, does anyone know what this motor thing does?
