Audi Climate Control LCD Rebuild Kit
Please read and become familiar with these instructions before performing the actual repair. The LCD panel is fragile and can be damaged if incorrectly installed. Installation is very simple and straightforward. Many color photos are included to ensure a trouble free installation. Place several paper towels on your work surface so as not to scratch the buttons on your climate control panel.
1) Remove controller from the center console
Gently pry wood trim fascia panel (A) from center console using a flat edge tool. A flathead screwdriver with an overlay of electrical tape will prevent any marring of surfaces. Remove the two Phillips head screws on left and right sides (B). Climate control center will slide out. Remove all four electrical connectors by simply pushing the tab in with your thumb and pulling the connector away from its socket. All four connectors are mechanically different to prevent mismatch upon assembly.
2) Taking your controller apart
Remove the three Phillips head screws from holding the front control panel to the controller housing. In this photo two screws can be seen at the top. The 3rd is on the bottom side. If you do not have the four turquoise lamp holders as seen in this photo, your controller is LED backlit. Rebuild is the same, but you will not need the lamps provided in this kit. If your controller is an early version with a white enclosure, please go to the appendix for updated information. Gently pull the front panel away from the housing to expose the LCD controller board and its ribbon connector.

2002 Taurus/Sable Climate Control System Workshop Manual
The amount of moisture (water vapor content) that the air can hold is directly related to the air temperature. The more heat there is in the air, the more moisture the air can hold. The lower the moisture content in the air, the more comfortable you feel. Removing moisture from the air lowers its relative humidity and improves personal comfort. Effects of Pressure on Boiling or Condensation As the pressure is increased on a liquid, the temperature at which the liquid boils (converts to gas) also increases. Conversely, when the pressure on a liquid is reduced, its boiling point is also reduced. When in the gas state, an increase in pressure causes an increase in temperature, while a decrease in pressure will decrease the temperature of the gas.

1995 Cadillac Concours N-Remove/Install/Overhaul
Removal, overhaul and installation procedures (when given by manufacturer) are covered in this article. If component removal and installation is primarily an unbolt and bolt-on procedure, only a simple torque specification may be supplied.
IGNITION SYSTEM POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
CAUTION: Electronic components used in control systems are designed to carry very low voltages. As little as a 30-volt charge created by static electricity can cause a total or degrading failure in PCM or other electronic components containing integrated circuits. Before servicing PCM, ground yourself and ground work area to discharge stored electricity.

Audi A4/Volkswagen Passat 1.8T BCS (Boost Control System) Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
1) In order to gain access to the engine computer, it is helpful to reposition the windshield wipers. Turn the ignition on and turn on the windshield wipers. When the wipers reach the vertical position, turn off the ignition. Make sure the ignition is turned off and the key is removed before continuing with the installation.
2) Inside the engine compartment there is a plastic box near the firewall on the driver side. In order to access the back screw, remove the plastic cap located adjacent to the driver side wiper arm. Remove the screws that hold down the plastic cover.
3) Remove the black plastic cover to access the ECU.
4) Find a suitable location to mount the BCS. In most cases the unit is installed in the opening of the center console near the car stereo. The unit is held in place with the Velcro that is provided.
5) Route the wires through the center console to an opening located near the clutch or brake pedal.
6) Route the BCS wires from the pedal area to the open hole in the side of the ECU box.
7) Remove the ECU connector covers by cutting the zip ties and pulling off the covers from the connector housings.
Remove about eight inches of the cloth tape around the ECU wiring harness.
9) Make the connections about six inches away from the ECU connectors.
10) Use the ECU pin diagram below to help you locate the correct wires to connect into.
11) Verify the correct wire for each connection by pin number and wire color code. See the reverse side of this page for wiring instructions.
Calibration Procedure
The rear panel calibration adjustment allows you to fine tune the BCS for your vehicle. If the setting is too high or too low, your car will not make full power. After the BCS is installed, the rear panel adjustment can be set during a short test drive. Start with the setting on maximum (100). See if the car pulls strongly to redline. Turn down the setting until the cars pulls strongly to redline in all gears. If the cars surges (cyclic variation in power), turn down the setting a little bit. Most 1999 and 2000 cars will wind up set near zero. Many 2001 cars will work best near 90
Wiring Instructions
The diagram below shows the location of the wires on the ECU connector plugs that are used to tie in the BCS. Be sure to trace the wires to the ECU pins to insure that connections are made to the correct wires. Do not go by wire color alone. You must confirm the correct wire by connector location. Connections will be made to the wiring harness a few inches from the side of the engine computer. All connections are made using the crimp connectors that are provided. The T-tap connectors are in two parts. The dark red piece is clamped onto the wire with a pair of pliers. After striping the corresponding wire from the BCS, crimp on the male spade connector. Make sure you crimp onto the bare wire and not the insulation. Shrink the insulation onto the wire with a heat gun. Inspect the male spade connector to make sure that the spade terminal is centered inside the insulator. This will insure that it mates properly with the T-tap connector. Push the male spade onto the T-tap connector until it snaps into place.
