Default Aircon blower periodically not working

My 2014 q7's front blower seems to switch off from time to time. The back is working fine but the front keeps switching off for a couple of minutes and on again for a couple of minutes.
What can I do to fix this problem?

I assume you've disabled auto climatatronic and tried to force blower speeds on and its not working?

the blowers on these are notorious for failing, mine was a bit intermittent before it went out.. good news its pretty easy to get too right behind the glovebox.. less than an hour in the driveway and I had it replaced and everything put back together.. there are a few videos on youtube that should get you going.

with VCDS I was showing a short on the front blower.. I got the nicest aftermarket one from FCPEuro since they have a lifetime warranty.

Don't fall victim to the classic trap; scan the car for any trouble codes first & always. Like as not you've got parasitic battery drains, and a low battery state of charge as a result...very common. This car shuts accessories down or limits their usage, so do your basic due-diligence before you start buying parts for this car.
