Removing and installing air recirculation flap control motorV113 on vehicles with air flow flap control motorV71

Removing and installing air recirculation flap control motor -V113- on vehicles with air flow flap control motor -V71-

Removing

–	Remove the glove compartment: → General body repairs, interior; Rep. gr.68

–	If necessary mark the connector -A- (to prevent interchange if several connectors are simultaneously unplugged).

–	Unplug the connector -A-.

–	Release the catches -C- and -D- for the holder -B- at the intake housing and remove the holder -B- (to the rear).

–	Detach the control motor -A- from the intake housing.

Installing

–	Before installing the control motor -A-, check the shaft of the air recirculation flap -C-.

–	Set the shaft -C- such that the connecting element of the control motor -D- can be inserted.

–	Insert the control motor with the connecting element -D- in the shaft -C- and the mounts of the intake housing -B-.

–	Install the holder -A-, taking particular care to ensure that the guide of the holder -B- is properly inserted in the mount of the intake housing -C- and that the holder is correctly engaged in both catches -D- and -E-.

–	Check the two control motors held in position by the bracket -A-. If there is any play, eliminate this by attaching a piece of foam to the inside of the attachment points -F- of the bracket -A-.

Re-install all parts removed in reverse order, paying attention to the following:

–	Route the wiring harness such that it cannot come into contact with moving components (e.g. control motor lever).

–	Interrogate the event recorder of the operating and display unit, Climatronic control unit -J255- and erase any faults displayed → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.

–	Perform basic setting and final control diagnosis for the air conditioner and interrogate the event recorder again → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.

Note

In the event of problems with moisture in the passenger compartment, additionally check the air recirculation flap (must close completely).
