Default Bad A/C Airflow after Inst Cluster Change out

After taking my '01 S4 Avant in for a new instrument cluster (computer display on fritz), it now seems the center A/C vents only put out about 1/10th as much air as previously.

I'm taking it back, but I don't have any manual on this car with schematics of dash to know if they could have possibly separated the ductwork somehow. Anyone had a cluster out and even been close to the A/C ducts?

This sucks. I hate letting them into the dash!

Thanks,

Tracy Dent

Default The cluster is maybe 4" thick and does not have vent routing directly behind it. If the center

vents aren't working you probably have a bad actuator. They would have had to whack around in there with a wrench or other long tool to even get close to anything A/C associated(no reason to on an ICluster replacement). Good luck.
