Removing and installing dash panel vent control motor V562 on Audi: factory workshop procedure. Full factory text, tools and checks.
Workshop procedure for AUDI — the factory write-up, straight from real workshop data.
📋 Procedure
Removing and installing dash panel vent control motor
V562
Note
There are different versions of the heater and air conditioner for these vehicles (e.g. the Audi A4) depending on vehicle equipment. Pay attention to the correct version and assignment of the different components
Chapter
and
Electronic parts catalogue
.
This control motor is only fitted on vehicles with a
“High”
air conditioner.
At present all the control motors on this vehicle are identical. During basic setting, the control motors are assigned and adapted in accordance with the series connection of the wiring. If the sequence is not as specified, the matching of the control motors and thus flap control will not be correct

If necessary, actuation of the electrical components of the air conditioner can be checked by way of the
“Final control diagnosis”
and

)
Chapter

Distinguishing features of different makes of control motor
”
.
On a control motor
1
with an open mount for the shaft
2
, the control motor can be pressed off the shaft. Particular care must be taken when detaching a control motor
3
with a closed shaft
4
from the shaft of the connecting element to avoid damaging this.
Caution
Risk of damaging shafts or connecting elements on removing a control motor with closed shaft
4
On a control motor with closed shaft
4
, the connecting element cannot be pressed out of the control motor shaft mount.
Take great care when detaching a control motor with closed shaft
4
. In particular make sure that the connecting elements do not work loose from their mounts at the applicable holder.

Installing
Install in reverse order, paying attention to the following:
Caution
Turning the mount
B
of the control motor
C
by hand may damage the electronics in the control motor.
Note
The mount of the control motor has no stop. It rotates permanently if the control motor is actuated. A detached control motor should therefore not be actuated.
Check the shaft
A
and the mount
B
of the control motor
C
. They must be properly aligned for assembly.
Attach the mount
B
of the control motor to the flap shaft
A
.
Note
Check the connection between the control motor mount and the shaft. There must not be any play.
Tighten the bolts

.
Lay the wiring harness to the connector

Note
The control motors on this vehicle are equipped with electronics. A new control motor only learns its position at the heater and air conditioning unit in the course of basic setting and can then be actuated by the
front air conditioner operating and display unit

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
