If these replacement pare are Audi then I'm willing to bet that they are the same as the ones found in a Golf or a Jetta. The diagram in the link surenlooks like the blower motor setup in my 2000 Jetta.

The ac/heater is up under the dash in the passenger side. Unscrew upper trim panel (plastic screws). Remove the plastic air duct (snap fit). This is where a couple of good flash lights and a pillow for your neck come in handy! The resistor is above and to the left slightly and is red in color and is attached with one screw and a wiring connection jack. The unit slides down towards you after you remove the screw. There are lot's of these ballast resistors on ebay. Resist!! Buy the OEM part instead. While your there... (famous last words) check the fan is able to spin - it's not hard to remove and feel around for debris. I had little bits of old foam sealer or gasket inside mine.
FYI: If you know someone with an OB2 cable and durametric software - the 7.8ver that covers 2004 996's covers heating and AC operation and codes...
