C7 Vents
I have a base C7 A6. It appears that the vents on the rear fenders are functional. Is that the case or is it just for style?
I know Z51s have functional vents but am not sure about base models. Thanks, Don

The Z51 passenger-side duct routes the air to the differential cooler.
On the base, the passenger side vent, while still there, is non-functional. The driver side vent is functional on base models with automatics.

What does the driver’s side vent cool? Looked under it a bit ago, but didn’t get underneath as I don’t have the gear I want yet. Casual observation didn’t show the ducting. Don
