- Detach shaft (D) of control motor (C) from cam plate (E).
- Insert shaft (D) of control motor (C) in cam plate (E). [Note: The control motor has no stop; therefore the shaft of the control motor can be inserted in the cam plate (E) in any position.]
- Fit bolts (B).
- Plug in connector (A).
- Route wiring harness so that it cannot come into contact with moving components (e.g. lever).
- Re-install all other components removed in reverse order.
- Switch on ignition.
- Perform basic setting and final control diagnosis for air conditioner Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 ("Guided Fault Finding"). [Note: The control motors on this vehicle are equipped with an electronic feature which enables a new control motor to learn its position at the air conditioning unit during basic setting; only then can it be activated by the air conditioner operating and display unit (Climatronic control unit J255); currently all control motors are identical Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 ("Guided Fault Finding").While you are performing the 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 control motors will not be adapted properly and the flaps will not be controlled correctly (overview of air conditioner control motors).]
- Interrogate event memory of air conditioner operating and display unit (Climatronic control unit J255) and erase any faults displayed Vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 ("Guided Fault Finding").

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.
