Default Is my interior fan broken?

Afternoon,

I've finally got round to bringing my A8 home today. As I was driving along, I've noticed that I don't seem to be able to get the interior fans blowing air.

I've included a picture below of the fan setting I had as I parked up:





Now, unless I'm missing a master control button somewhere (I don't have an owner's manual), there just doesn't seem to be any air coming out of the vents. When I'm driving along, there is the faintest wisp of cold air coming through the vents, as though cold air is being forced through the system but it's not actually doing anything.

It doesn't make any sound, even on the max setting here. I was speaking to a mechanic friend at lunchtime and he thinks it could be the fan itself that has packed in, and that removing it and testing it's circuit would be a good idea.

Or perhaps I am just missing a trick, and I don't really need a whole new fan motor? If I do need to get at the fan to test it, how would I go about doing that?

Chris
