Air Guide In Air Distribution Housing






Air Guide In Air Distribution Housing

To illustrate air guide in the air distribution housing, it is shown in the form of sectional views "A" -"A" and "B"- "B".

On the Audi TT with A/C system, both motors for left and right temperature doors are controlled via one characteristics curve, depending on the programmed end stops (only one temperature setting on the Climatronic control module (J255) ).

Depending on the measured temperatures, the calculated sunlight intensity and setting on Climatronic control module, the calculated specified outflow temperature and therefore, the specified position of the temperature doors, may be different for the left and right side.

On the Audi TT with A/C (heating only), only one temperature door motor is installed. Both temperature doors for the left and right sides are connected via a shaft and moved together by the Left Temperature door Motor (V158).

Vehicles without A/C do not have a temperature sensor. The outflow temperature is not controlled. The Left Temperature Door Motor (V158) is placed in a position calculated according to the temperature setting and the programmed motor stop values by the Climatronic control module.

From May 2007, an A/C air distribution housing with a defroster door in the air outlet to the defroster vents in the instrument panel without a side cut-out is gradually being installed. Refer to => [ A/C Air Distribution Housing Defroster Outlet Door ] A/C Air Distribution Housing Defroster Outlet Door. With the introduction of the door with the side cut-out, the Climatronic control module (J255) is changed. Refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog. Make sure the correct Climatronic control module installed and then check the adaptation using Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system (VAS5051B) in the "Guided Fault Finding". On vehicles without A/C, the change to the door has no influence on the heater control (the door is controlled only by adjusting the Climatronic control module heater controls).
