Hi all,

Hoping one of you kind folk would be up for helping me troubleshoot an issue I'm having with the ac & climate on my A6 C6 where to start with the ac stopped working (ac compressor isn't kicking in and the 2nd radiator fan isn't turning with the engine running and ECON button off)

This has then developed into some random weirdness with the climate controls and cabin fans appearing to have a mind of their own, either the cabin fans won't run, regardless of the fan speed selected or the fans start to run and then cut out.

I'm a complete novice when it comes to vcds (although trying to learn) having performed a scan the following fault codes shown:

Also attempted to perform measuring blocks for what I think are the offending the modules and get the following:

Address 08: Auto HVAC (4F0 910 043 A)

15:17:48 Group 011: Front Cold Air Flap Control Motor (V197) / Potentiometer (G315)

Then after clearing all the fault codes, cycling the ignition off and on, then rescanning all the same set of fault codes get relogged.
