Q: AC Blower motor

asked by on July 10, 2017

I have an 08 Audi A6. The A/C has stop blowing. When I turn it on, I can hear the compressor turning on but no air blows out. The AC would sometimes work in the early morning when the car was cold but it made a squeaking noise, which lead me to believe the blower was going bad. I played with the A/C controls and both the heat and cold air do not blow. What is the potential cost to replace the blower?

My car has 160000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
