Going to take to the dealership on Wednesday morning after a 30-40 minute drive to show them this isn't a figment of our imagination. Hopefully they will find something.
No air coming from vents

An update on the HVAC problem. My wife took advantage of an appointment to change out the Takata airbag by driving the 40 minutes it usually takes for the HVAC to quit working. Sure enough, right on schedule, the air flow stops at the 40 minute mark and she drives straight to dealership. Huh! No air. Just like you said. (Why don't service managers believe their customers?) This has been going on for over a year - maybe two by now. Sorry rant. Back to the story.
After some calling to Germany (or wherever you call), they found an HVAC software update and installed. Wife and daughter went to Chicago for a prom dress this week (about 3 hours each way - don't ask) and HVAC worked flawlessly. Not claiming victory yet and will keep you posted, but the best start yet.

That’s great but I wonder if it could be the same thing on a 2002. Keep me updated.

Good that you got yours fixed but considering your car isn't a MK4 it's kinda moot... I'm not trying to be a d!ck but it's not even close to helping...
To the OP if you have the normal 3 knob setup I don't think it has anything to do with software...it's all cable controlled

Yeah I was wondering about that too... Was pretty certain our HVAC was all a dumb system, minus the climatronics. But those weren't standard in TDI's... yet.
Something to consider, the cables may have fallen off or partially detached from the controller side. That white plastic that holds it all together can get brittle over the years. Just changed the one in my dad's car, but that's because the fan speed switch started melting. Whoops.

Mine has been working fine lately. Probably wait until it is hot as hell then start doing it again.

The gremlin has returned. Air stops coming from the vents. I didn’t end up replacing the blower because I can hear it running just no air from the vents
