Where would I look for a, 2006 A4 Quattro 2.0t? It gives you no option. 2005 then skips 2 years to 2007? What's the deal? Is there some secret about the 2006 Audi A4..? Real though these parts are getting pretty expensive. Really could use a lay out, diagram something of that years relay\ fuse box.

Alex

All B7 A4 (late 2005 to early 2008) are the same vehicle (same diaphragm)

Thank you for posting this information. I’ve seen other posts on the net regarding relay and fuse diagrams, but this one is much more thorough and descriptive.

Currently diagnosing a no A/C/blower fan motor condition. What’s really weird is I have tested every single relay and every single fuse and they all test as functional. At this point, I am checking the actual wire that goes to the blower motor and checking for Continuity. It’s weird because there’s no black burn marks on the wire at the connector or on the wire even tracing serval feet of it there’s nothing showing that it has been damaged.
