Re-circulation Actuator

[Bipman]

Hi all

I think my aircon re-circulation actuator is a bit stuck as the aircon only seems to work properly in re-circulation mode.  Is this actuator easy to reach or would it need a garage to check it ?  It's a 2008 2.7TDi model.

Do the fans work (with air con off) while in normal non recirculation mode?

[Bipman]

I'm not sure; do you mean in Eco mode ?

Hi

 

I've scanned the codes and get the following for the Aircon

At least you know what it is now...

Doesn't sound that easy though - see this from a VW forum:

I took a look on ElsaWin and it looks like you only have to remove the windscreen wiper arms and then a few bolts.  I believe the wiper arms are a bit of a pig to remove though.

Are you planning on giving it a go soon then?

[Bipman]

Maybe.  Weekends are too busy at the moment but I'll take a look and see if it looks relatively easy.  The main issue will be removing the wiper arms if they are locked or need a puller.
