How to fix Audi HVAC pump – when the air blows hot despite the cold setting

How to fix Audi HVAC pump –  when the air blows hot despite the cold setting

Hot air despite the Auto AC set to low?
My car started blowing hot air from passenger side vent during our trip to Florida earlier this year. I had 68F set on both sides, yet on the passenger side it was blowing hot air. Later the problem traveled to the drivers side. Restarting the AC console would fix it for 15 minutes. The problem was dirty HVAC pump.
In this video I show how to clean the HVAC pump.
This is a common problem on high mileage Audi and Volkswagen cars with automatic AC.
I am sorry for the video to sound sync problems at the end of the video.
This fix worked and I have put over 8k miles since I performed this service. The AC works like new.

Hi,
What's the model and year of your Audi?
My one is 2007 A3 TFSI 2.0. Just want to know if the location of the pump is same as my car.
Thanks

When I opened my pump it was filled with coolant fluid. It drained out. Clean the pumps but still not cooling put the pumps back now having coolant leak. But the pumps was dirty and I clean them.
