Glove Compartment Cooling to Air Intake Manifold Connection






Glove Compartment Cooling to Air Intake Manifold Connection

From 01.2008, A/C units which have an additional connection for the glove compartment cooling are being installed. On vehicles without glove compartment cooling, this connection is sealed with a plug.

On an air intake housing - D - with a connection for glove compartment cooling - C - the strap - E - is approximately 3 mm longer than on the version with the glove compartment cooling connection - C -, be sure to pay attention to the correct allocation. Refer to Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA).






If an air intake housing - D - with a connection for glove compartment cooling - C - is installed into a vehicle, which before did not have an intake air housing - D - with a connection for glove compartment cooling - C -, then the pin - A - on the right heater core housing - B - must be shortened by approximately 3 mm (different versions).

On vehicles with an air intake housing - D - with a glove compartment cooling connection - C - but without the option "glove compartment cooling", the connection - C - is sealed with a plug - F -.

If the vehicle has the option "glove compartment cooling" then remove the plug - F - from the glove compartment cooling - C -.

On vehicles with "glove compartment cooling", the cooled air is routed from the A/C through the connection - C - and the air guide on the air intake housing - A - into the glove compartment. The foam seal seals the air guide and the glove compartment - B -.






Make sure the vehicle has the correct version of the glove compartment.
