Removing and installing left mounting plate with footwell flap control motorV261
Removing and installing left mounting plate with footwell flap control motor -V261-
The footwell flap control motor -V261- is fitted with an air conditioner of the „Basic“ type.
  Note
t  The mounting plate with the footwell flap control motor -V261- is only fitted on vehicles with an air conditioner of the „Basic“ type.
t  Dismantling and assembling mounting plate with footwell flap control motor -V261- → Chapter
t  At present all the control motors on this vehicle are identical. During basic setting, control motor assignment and adaption are implemented on the basis of the arrangement in the series connection of the wiring. If the sequence is not as specified, the matching of the control motors and thus flap control will not be correct → Chapter „Block diagram of air conditioner control motors“.
t  Different versions of the levers and connecting elements are fitted at the air conditioning unit depending on the production period → Chapter and → Electronic parts catalogue.
Removing
–  Move the driver's seat to the rearmost position.
–  Switch off the ignition.
–  Remove the storage compartment beneath the dash panel on the driver side → General body repairs, interior; Rep. gr.70.
–  Remove the left (driver side) footwell vent → Chapter.
–  Remove the accelerator pedal module → Brake system; Rep. gr.46.
   
–  To prevent interchange, mark the connectors -A- (to the defroster flap control motor -V107-), -B- (footwell flap control motor -V261-) and -C- (temperature flap control motor -V68-).
–  Unplug the connectors -A-, -B- and -C-.
–  Unfasten the wiring -D- from the attachment points at the mounting plate -E-.
  A87-10497
–  Carefully unclip the various connecting rods -A-, -B- and -C- from the levers at the corresponding flaps.
  Note
t  The connecting rods (-A- to -C-) are clipped in at the levers. Unclip carefully to avoid damaging the lever.
t  Different versions of the levers and connecting elements are fitted at the air conditioning unit depending on the production period → Chapter and → Electronic parts catalogue.
–  Remove the bolts -D-.
–  Detach the mounting plate -E- (with the control motor -F- and the levers, cam plates and connecting rods) from the air conditioning unit.
Installing
Install in reverse order; paying attention to the following:
–  Moisten the guides of the cam plate as well as the pins at the flap levers with a small quantity of grease (e.g. lubricating paste -G 000 150- → Electronic parts catalogue).
–  Check for proper assembly of the levers, cam plates and connecting rods of the mounting plate -A- → Chapter.
  A87-10498
–  When fitting the mounting plate -A-, insert the pins of the mounting plate -B- and the cam plate -C- correctly in the mounts of the air conditioning unit.
  A87-10499
–  Fit the bolts -D-.
–  Clip in the various connecting rods -A-, -B- and -C- at the levers of the corresponding flap.
  A87-10498
–  Plug in the connectors -A- to -C- in line with the markings.
–  Insert the wiring harness -D- in the attachment points at the mounting plate -E-.
–  Check the routing of the wiring harness -D-. It must not come into contact with moving components (e.g. lever).
–  Re-install all the other parts removed in reverse order.
–  Switch on the ignition.
–  Perform air conditioner basic setting and final control diagnosis → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.
  Note
t  The control motors on this vehicle are equipped with electronics. A new control motor only learns its position at the air conditioning unit in the course of basic setting and can then be actuated by the air conditioner operating and display unit, Climatronic control unit -J255- (all control motors are identical at present) → "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.
t  During basic setting, control motor assignment and adaption are implemented on the basis of the arrangement in the series connection of the wiring. If the sequence is not as specified, the matching of the control motors and thus flap control will not be correct → Chapter (block diagram of air conditioner control motors).
–  Interrogate the event recorder of the air conditioner 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.
