8 Outlet To Instrument Panel Defroster Vents Instrument Panel

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. With the introduction of the door with the side cut-out, the Climatronic control module (J255) is changed. Refer to => [ A/C Air Distribution Housing Defroster Outlet Door ] A/C Air Distribution Housing Defroster Outlet Door and to the Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA). 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).
