Heater Air Pipes S4 Elan
Posted: Wed May 20, 2020 9:11 pm
I am having difficulty fitting these flexibles. My car is an early S4 with an S3 crash pad. The flex tube I am having most difficulty with is from the front (engine side) side of the heater to the fresh air eyeball vent on the A pillars. There does not seem to be enough space between the heater and the bulkhead (firewall) for this pipe, I cannot manage to push the heater forward into position. Reading Buckland it seems this pipe is a different diameter from the pipe that connects the heater to the demister vents, looking in the parts list these two flexible tubes have different part numbers. I am using the flexible tubes that came off the car as they are already bent to shape, on the assumption that they are correct, but now I wonder if I might be the victim of a previous owners error. These tubes also rub on the steering column.
Can anyone guide me as to what diameter these tubes should be and how they should be routed?
