Default Center console vents not blowing air

The center vents on my 2016 A3 aren't blowing any air. I've changed the in cabin air filter, played with all the dash vent settings,and checked for blown fuses ! The vent motor is working as air vents through the two side dash vents but I can't get the center vents to blow any air. HELP !

Hi Danny, did you ever resolve this issue? I have a 2015 A3 with the same problem.

This issue has been resolved . I took it to an auto repair shop who has had extensive experience on Audi’s and nothing would come up in their diagnostic computer . We knew it was probably one of the motors called “ blendors “ that control the opening and closing of the vents but they couldn’t pin point which ones so they didn’t want to work on it . So they recommended I go to the Audi dealership because they have more sophisticated equipment to pin point which motors were bad . The dealership was able to find which ones were non functioning and replaced them ,although at the usual high cost dealerships are noted for charging . Total cost for parts , diagnostics and labor came to slightly over $1200. They did tell me though that they have had problems with these "blendor" motors going out prematurely and that Audi has upgraded them and that I shouldn’t have any more problems with them .

I also have a 2015 A3, my center vents don't work as well as my defrost or feet vents. The only ones that work is the center side vents. Would this be the same issue?
