Flexible Air Distribution Shaft, Checking






Flexible Air Distribution Shaft, Checking

Only for vehicles without A/C System and for vehicles with A/C system removed.

The air distribution for vehicles with Climatronic is regulated with the front air distribution door motor (V426) and the front air distribution door motor position sensor (G642). Refer to => [ Front Air Distribution Door Motor (V426) with Position Sensor (G642) ] Front Air Distribution Door Motor (V426) with Position Sensor (G642).

Check the flexible shaft for air distribution door adjustments:

Set the fresh air blower (V2) on the highest blower speed.

Select "Defrost" with the control knob for heat and fresh air.

If air flows out of defroster vents in the "Defrost" position and no air flows out of footwell vents, installation of flexible shaft is correct.

Otherwise remove the flexible shaft from the controls again. Place the front controls for the heat and fresh air on the rear controls for the heat and fresh air and turn the air distribution knob 1/2 (180°). Insert the flexible shaft and check again.
