Removing and installing air recirculation flap control motor V113 — VW

Removing and installing
air recirculation flap control motor
V113
Special tools and workshop equipment required
Vehicle diagnostic tester
Note
When removing, mark control motors and associated connecting pieces between flap and motor (risk of interchanging connecting pieces from other control motors).
If connecting pieces are interchanged, the control motors, with the incorrect connecting pieces, will not reach their prescribed end position. After the basic setting, the event memory will show the fault
“Adaptation limit exceeded”
.
Removing
Switch on ignition and wait until
air recirculation flap control motor

has reached its end position in
“fresh air mode”
.
Switch off ignition.

B in direction of arrow
from air intake duct.
Note
The connection between the gears of the control motor and the fresh air / air recirculation flap is designed so that the control motor can be removed without trouble only in the
“fresh air mode”
position (the intake opening for air recirculation above the fresh air / air recirculation flap
A
is closed).
If the control motor is in a different position and can no longer move, the control motor must not simply be pulled off. First, it must be released from its mounting points
C
with force. During this operation, ensure that gear
D
is not damaged.
Installing
Installation is carried out in reverse order of removal. Note the following:
Note
Check operation of flaps and hinge mechanism before fitting.
Make sure levers and shafts are properly fitted in the mounts.
Route wiring harness so that it cannot come into contact with any moving parts (e.g. actuating arm on control motor).
The control motor is supplied as a replacement part in the position
“fresh air mode”
. It can be pushed onto the gear of the fresh air and air recirculation flap only if gear
A
is at stop
B
. If a control motor is removed in a different position or actuated before it is removed, it cannot be installed.
If the gear
A
of the control motor is not at stop
B
“fresh air mode”
, proceed as follows:
Connect control motor to vehicle wiring harness.
Switch on ignition.
Wait until gear
A
of control motor has reached stop
B
“fresh air mode”
.
Switch off ignition.
Reach into intake opening for recirculated air mode and move fresh air / air recirculation flap
A
to
“fresh air mode”
position (air duct opening for recirculated air mode is closed).
Insert
air recirculation flap control motor

B
in mountings
C
against direction of arrow and onto gear
D
.
Note
In order for the gear on the control motor
A
to be pushed onto the gear for the fresh air / air recirculation flap, the short tooth
C
of the control motor gear must align with the short gap between teeth
D
of the gear on the shaft of the fresh air / air recirculation flap
D
.
After installing
air recirculation flap control motor
V113
, push gear
1
back onto shaft of fresh air/air recirculation flap.
Route wiring harness so that it cannot come into contact with any moving parts (e.g. actuating arm on control motor).
Install retainer
A
, paying particular attention to ensure guide of retainer
D
is properly inserted in support of air intake duct
E
and retainer is properly engaged in both catches
B
and
C
.
Note
The position of the control motor (and of the flap) is no longer visible when the glove compartment is installed, so it is prudent to check its function before installing the glove compartment.
If the two gears have been assembled in the wrong position, it will be noticeable that the fresh air and air recirculation flap will not reach its two end positions or the control motor does not run smoothly without catching.
Read event memory and erase any entries displayed. Then perform
“basic setting”
Vehicle diagnostic tester
in
“Guided fault-finding”
mode.
Check operation of heater and air conditioning system.
