Dismantling and assembling air intake box of air conditioning unit
  Note
t  Air conditioning units with an additional connection for glove compartment cooling are being gradually introduced as of 01.2008. This connection is sealed with a plug on vehicles not featuring glove compartment cooling → Chapter. Attention is therefore to be paid to correct assignment of the right heater housing and the air intake box → Electronic parts catalogue.
t  The following illustration shows the top section of the air intake box with no connection for glove compartment cooling.
t  As of Model Year 2012 and depending on the vehicle model, modified fresh air blower control units -J126- (and fresh air blowers -V2-, air conditioner operating and display units, Climatronic control unit -J255-, evaporators, expansion valves, control motors and air conditioning units are gradually to be introduced → Electronic parts catalogue and → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051. Heed the notes on these components → Chapter „Components of air conditioning unit and air intake box with Basic type“
–  Remove the air intake box → Chapter.

  Note
t  Depending on the version of the genuine component, the top and bottom parts are bolted together at the attachment points or the top part is spot-welded to the bottom part.
t  The top and bottom parts of the air intake box are currently available as separate replacement parts. Assemble the two parts and then fasten them together with the bolts → Item at the attachment points provided → Item → Electronic parts catalogue.
q   If one of the retainer tabs → Item breaks off or one of the spot welds is no longer strong enough, the two parts of the housing can also be fastened together with bolts → Item.
q   Different versions (with and without connection for glove compartment cooling); this illustration shows the version with no connection for glove compartment cooling → Electronic parts catalogue
9 - Bottom part of air intake box
q   Do not dismantle
  Note
t  Depending on the version of the genuine component, the top and bottom parts are bolted together at the attachment points or the top part is spot-welded to the bottom part.
t  The top and bottom parts of the air intake box are currently available as separate replacement parts. Assemble the two parts and then fasten them together with the bolts → Item at the attachment points provided → Item → Electronic parts catalogue.
q   If one of the retainer tabs → Item breaks off or one of the spot welds is no longer strong enough, the two parts of the housing can also be fastened together with bolts → Item.
As of Model Year 2012 a modified version is gradually to be introduced. Pay attention to the notes on this component → Chapter „Components of air conditioning unit and air intake box with Basic type“
10 - Fresh air blower -V2-
q   Removing and installing → Chapter
q   Checking → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051
  Note
t  As of 08.2007, fresh air blowers -V2- with an additional foam sheath at the housing (to reduce noise) are gradually being introduced → Chapter and → Electronic parts catalogue.
t  As of Model Year 2009, a fresh air blower -V2- with a modified housing (with optimised motor and adapted motor mount) is gradually being introduced. On introduction of the modified -V2-, the additional foam sheath at the housing is being discontinued. A modified insulating mat is however being installed on account of the larger motor mount → Item and → Electronic parts catalogue
t  In Model Year 2010, petrol engines designed for operation with bioethanol are being gradually introduced (Flex Fuel Vehicle). These engines are currently also fitted with a supplementary air heater element -Z35- → Chapter.
t  Vehicles with a high-voltage system (hybrid vehicles) and petrol engine are currently also fitted with a supplementary air heater element -Z35- → Chapter.
t  On vehicles with a petrol engine, the electric supplementary heating (supplementary air heater element -Z35-) is actuated by a signal from the operating and display unit, Climatronic control unit -J255- by way of the local data bus (via the same output by which the fresh air blower control unit -J126- is actuated) to the supplementary air heater control unit -J604-. In the event of problems with the fresh air blower control unit -J126- or the fresh air blower -V2- on these vehicles, also check the supplementary air heater control unit -J604- → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 and → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.
t  Checking operation of supplementary air heater element -Z35- → Chapter.
