Removing and installing rear left vent control motor V218 and rear right vent control motor V219 — AUDI

🧭 Before you start

Fits: Audi A8 D3 (4E, 2002–2010)

• Special tools named: VAS 5051

Don't miss

• Mark the connector (B) to the rear left vent control motor V218 and (C) to the rear right vent control motor V219 to prevent possible interchange on account of identical connectors.
• Mark the control motors (e.g. "„B“" and "„C“" on account of the different position of the motor shaft).
• Mark the cam plate (D) e.g. with "„D“" (to the rear left vent control motor V218) and (E) e.g. with "„E“" (to the rear right vent control motor V219) on account of possible interchange (assignment ).

📋 Procedure

1. Switch off ignition.
2. Remove the centre console. General body repairs, interior68
3. Mark the connector (B) to the rear left vent control motor V218 and (C) to the rear right vent control motor V219 to prevent possible interchange on account of identical connectors.
4. Screw out the bolts (A).
5. Unplug the connectors (B) and (C) from the control motors.

6. Detach the holder (D) with both control motors.
7. Screw out the bolts (A) for the control motor to be removed.
8. Mark the control motors (e.g. "„B“" and "„C“" on account of the different position of the motor shaft).
9. Take the corresponding control motor out of the holder (F).
10. Mark the cam plate (D) e.g. with "„D“" (to the rear left vent control motor V218) and (E) e.g. with "„E“" (to the rear right vent control motor V219) on account of possible interchange (assignment ).
11. Use 2 screwdrivers for example to carefully prise the cam plate (D) or (E) off the corresponding control motor.
12. Attach the control motors (B) and (C) to the holder (F).
13. Attach the cam plates (D) and (E) to the shaft of the corresponding control motor (pay attention to correct assignment ). [Note: Check the positioning of the cam plate. It must engage in the shaft of the motor and there must not be any clearance between the control motor shaft and the cam plate.The cam plate is only to be attached in the position in which it engages without having to exert force. If pre-tension is required to insert the cam plate, check the mount of the motor as this may be turned through 180°.The control motor shaft (B) has no stop. It rotates constantly if voltage is applied between contacts 5 and 6. When the control motor has been detached, voltage is therefore only to be applied with the cam plate (A) attached.The motor may be incorrectly positioned if pre-tension is required to insert the cam plate (A) in the control motor.If the shaft is so awkwardly positioned that the cam plate cannot be attached, use an adapter cable for example or a test lead from the adapter setV.A.G 1594/C to connect contacts 5 and 6 of the control motor by way of a 5 A fuse to a 12 V battery.Turn the control motor until no pre-tension is required to attach the connecting element. The direction of rotation can be reversed by interchanging positive and negative.]
14. Moisten the guides of the cam plates (E) and (F) and the lugs at the levers of the flaps (A) to (D) with a small quantity of lubricating pasteG 000 150 for example Electronic parts catalogue.
15. Move the levers (A) and (B) of the flaps for the left side and (C) and (D) of the flaps for the right side to the position shown.
16. Insert the lugs of the levers (A) to (D) as shown in the guides of the cam plates (E) and (F).
17. Attach the holder with the control motors to the air conditioning unit.
18. Re-install the other components removed in reverse order.
19. Interrogate the fault memory of the rear Climatronic operating and display unit E265 (and the front operating and display unit, Climatronic control unit J255) and erase any faults displayed "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.
20. Perform air conditioner basic setting and final control diagnosis "Guided fault-finding" function of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051.
