Left Rear Air Outlet Motor -V218-/Right Rear Air Outlet Motor -V219-, Removing and Installing
Left Rear Air Outlet Motor -V218-/Right Rear Air Outlet Motor -V219-, Removing And Installing
NOTE:
- On removal, mark motor/flap connecting element to avoid mix-ups with connecting elements of other control motors.
- In the event of malfunction "Upper or lower limit value exceeded", check motor/flap connecting element. It must be attached to motor on correct side and there must be no clearance between control motor mount and connecting element.
- These control motors are only fitted on vehicles with Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) -E265-. Vehicles with no Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) -E265- do not have flaps fitted at this location in air duct of heating and A/C unit.
- In cases of doubt about correct assignment of connectors following installation of control motors, unplug connector from one control motor for example and then check DTC memory of Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) -E265-.
Removing
- Switch off ignition.
- Remove center console.
- Mark Left Rear Air Outlet Motor -V218- and Right Rear Air Outlet Motor -V219- connectors -B- and -C- to avoid mix-ups with identical connectors.
- Screw out bolts -A-.
- Unplug connectors -B- and -C- from control motors.
- Detach holder -D- with both control motors.
- Screw out bolts -A- for control motor to be removed.
- Mark control motors (e.g. "B" and "C" on account of different position of motor shaft).
- Take appropriate control motor out of holder -F-.
- Mark cam plates -D- e.g. "D" (for Left Rear Air Outlet Motor -V218-) and -E- e.g. "E" (for Right Rear Air Outlet Motor -V219-) to avoid possible mix-ups (assignment).
- Use 2 screwdrivers, for example, to carefully pry cam plate -D- or -E- off appropriate control motor.
Installing
Install in reverse order, paying attention to the following.
- Attach control motors -B- and -C- to holder -F-.
- Attach cam plates -D- and -E- to shaft of appropriate control motor (pay attention to correct assignment).
NOTE:
- Check position of cam plate. It must engage in motor shaft and there must be no clearance between control motor shaft and cam plate.
- Cam plate is only to be attached in position in which it engages smoothly. If cam plate has to be pre-tensioned before it can be inserted, check motor mount (may have been turned through 180 degrees).
- Shaft of control motor -B- has no stop. It rotates constantly if voltage is applied between contacts 5 and 6. With control motor detached, voltage is therefore only to be applied when cam plate -A- is attached.
- If cam plate -A- has to be pre-tensioned before it can be inserted in control motor, this may be due to incorrect positioning.
- If shaft is positioned such that cam plate cannot be attached, use adapter cable or test lead from V.A.G 1594 A, for example, to connect contacts 5 and 6 of control motor via 5 A fuse to 12 V battery.
- Allow control motor to turn until connecting element can be attached without pre-tension; direction of rotation can be reversed by swapping positive and negative.
- Moisten guides of cam plates -E- and -F- and pins at levers of flaps -A- to -D- with a small quantity of grease (e.g. G 000 150).
- Set levers -A- and -B- of flaps for left side and -C- and -D- of flaps for right side to position shown.
- Insert pins of levers -A- to -D- into guides of cam plates -E- and -F- as shown.
- Attach holder with control motors to heating and A/C unit.
- Re-install components removed in reverse order.
- Check DTC memory of Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) -E265-(and Climatronic Control Module -J255-) and erase any malfunctions displayed.
- Perform basic setting and output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) for air conditioner.
