Thanks for your video on how to replace the actuator! Watching it convinced me that I could DYI so I ordered the part from Amazon (thanks for the p/n!) and viola, replaced it and it works great with no more grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr noise. Thank you SO much!

Thanks man. I figured out it was the recirculation motor. Just ordered it for $20. Thanks for the tips

Estupendo video gran información ...

***A $13 part and a 20-30 minute labor fix......thanks chief*** TO VOLKSWAGEN: (who is charging $900) This is why VW is currently closing buildings for the first time since conception.....everything you do as a manufacturer is Orbit-high pricing. Karma always finds it's mark.

The noise wouldn't be so annoying if they didn't have that backup exhaust protection mode! 🙂

Nice work, thanks!

Hallo if you perhaps can help me , my fan is spinning in the wrong direction. How can I solve the problem

These fans have been running backwards for 6 years now, why leave this garbage up?

Thanks for the video. I was able to replace mine, but it took me a good hour and 15 mins or so. The most tedious part was installing the new motor. Took me a while to get to slide into place. The only thing I can’t figure out is why doesn’t the motor kick in on the new replacement when you turn on the car, but with the old motor, it kicked in as soon as you turned on the car, go into reverse or push the recirculating button on the dash panel. With the new motor, these self rotating modes are non existent. I wonder why?🙄

This was extremely helpful and I cannot thank you enough. For anyone wondering, it works on a 2007 rabbit

Thanks for posting this video. I have a 2008 Jetta as well. Got er done today. No more buzz. 2 hrs and $10 bucks. I had a booger of a time getting the new motor on. After studying the old one and new one, I noticed in the closed position the gear on the new one needed to be just was smidge open to fit correctly. So I plugged the new one in, turn the car on, opened it all the way, then closed it and turn the car off right at the point where I needed the gear to be.

I found the video here to look at the parts installation. That little motor is a bugger to get in- worth a note- there is a small circular indentation where cog from the motor inserts into. IF you look at that with a flashlight- guiding the motor into position is a lot easier. It only goes in one way, but knowing when to push the motor to align with that circular plastic part of the housing and the 3 prongs- will help make it A LOT easier. Thank you for posting this. With all the details, total time to install new fan motor and new divertor motor was about 1.5 hours total. Plus 20 mins to watch the video 3x. LOL.

THANKS YOU MADE MY DAY WORKS LIKE A CHARME

My scanner says "01272 - Positioning Motor for Central Flap (V70)", is it this one?

thanks man, i was stressing out not knowing what that loud noise was, now i get to save some $$ and learn how to do it myself ! dealership was going to rip my pockets

Thanky for perfect job, Ted! Just fix it on my old Jetta MK5, 1.6, 2008. Wonderful explanation and very usefull video even for guy like me. This was the first time I heading to do it myself . The dealership offers me 950 EUR and appointment six month from now. Thanks to you I did it for 2.5 hours and it cost me 39 EUR for bying recirculation servo motor. Greetings

This worked for my 2008 2.5 Jetta SEL. It had a battery replacement and didn't update the aux input.

On My 2.5 09 jetta the fans turn on but run at full speed once the engine is up to temperature , my understanding is that there is no speed control moule so its directly controlled by the ecu thru the coolant temp sensor but theres no relay between the ECU and fans. What could be the cause

Great video, but I got stuck reinstalling the plastic piece that goes over the actuator and the other electrical components won't go all the way in. Any ideas?

😂😂😂 mine does it too idc to much about it

I have 2009 Jetta we’re the aux connection aren’t

Thank you for this useful video

Hi

che modello di autoradio e' ? Non mi sembra un RCD

I fixed it by shimming the motor

It works. Thanks

thank you

Thank you very much for this video my brother 🌹👍🏻

Nice job you done here! One question if you know, perhaps. Heat exchange and middle (central) ventilation not working (left and right are working normal). Connected OBD2 port and scanned with carista and it says that i have 4 faults in AC modules. 4 faults in the same time?? Whats the odd with that? 01809 - Actuator for temperature flap on the left of (V158) 01810 - Actuating Motor for Temperature Flap: Right (V159) 01272 - Positioning Motor for Central Flap (V70) 01274 - Air Flow Flap Positioning Motor (V71) Whats the odd that 4 motors bured at once? It is a small fortune and pain in the a**** to replace all that! Is there maybe something else got off which cause those 4 not runing...if you know..maybe some kind of fuse or...?

Nice

0:22 You obviously set it wrong! Selector should be on 10A range.

This guy is awesome, save me a lot of money...👍👍

Man, this is 2 pin ? 5 pin? Please write me, this motor with chip?

Where the desert button

thanks for this. i just finished the job on my gf’s 2008 Jetta SE, and found your video quite helpful. was a bit intimidated at first but was not going to pay the $900 dealer estimate.($215 for the part and 3 hours labor.) getting the glove box to re-seat was the hardest part. she is delighted to no longer hear that awful noise at start-up and in reverse!

Thanks a million, great video made my life a lot easier.

How to kill the Controll module by DIY! red is + must...

Also fits some Skoda, Ford Mustang SEAT other fords and Vauxhall/opel/GM meriva 1 st generation, you can also buy just the motor using the BOSCH part number from the label inside the unit, around 6 euro's from Germany. A lot of these have 2 wire, others have 5 wires, either can be used on the 2 wire, but if yours is 5 wire you must use 5 wire, 5 wire are I think for climate control as the extra 3 prongs go to a sensor that sends info about exact position to air con/climate control unit. The cog simply pulls out and that is how it is able to be used on so many different cars. These pack up as the 2 wire one powers in the direction requested ALL the time the ignition is on, it simply reverses current to achieve each direction, the lecky motor is a doddle to fit no soldering simply pushes into place even the contacts on the end. On my meriva it is 4 screws on glovebox, then 2 screws on unit to take off literally 5 minutes, 2 screws hold it on while 3rd hole locates over a peg so it is in the right position

You’re great

Thanks a lot Ted! For anyone who has the same issue and wants to save a few bucks: I was able to fix my motor by opening the recirclulation motor's plastic casing and adding few layers of duct tape between the casing and actual motor which allows the worn plastic gears inside to connect again. (Please be aware that if you add too many layers the motor might not be able to turn all the way or at all.)

Thank you so much , how can get it I search for it on Amazon no results

Obrigado man!!! Thanks you for video

where is the aux located in the glovebox?

Hi my mk5 golf but won'ts takes off, did any bolt holding in back?
