You need to put your old HVAC controller back in, then run a scan again to find the true fault codes. The replacement controller you put in is locked out (component protection) as it’s from another car.

And you need to use an Audi specific scan tool to get accurate results. Carista, OBDELEVEN or VCDS. That printout looks to be a generic code reader.
