[@newtothisthing]

@@arcgarage This solution might be impossible to do on my car, it is a right-hand drive car and there is too much in the way of the broken actuator. I cant even get a spanner on the nearest bolt to undo it. What do you recommend?

Hello my friend, i like your videos is so helpful. I have a giulietta 1.6 jtdm 105 hp. I have also broken the flap motor recirculation and also i have another problem. It comes inside the cabin smell , in town and also in open roads. This hapens more strongly when i turn on the radiator in hot, now the winter and i can't understand from where there may be a leak. I would be grateful if you could help me if something similar happened to you or to any other friend. Thank you very much.

[@arcgarage]

Hi, glad to hear that. What kid of smell? If it's the exhaust, you got to take care of that immediately, it can be very dangerous

[@KM-vh9ql]

Yes like.exhaust gas, but low so high like in exhaust. Less. But smells like this

Değil bu sadece dışardan ve içerden hava sirkülasyonunu yöneten motor . Sizin sorun ayrı yakın konumda başka bir motoru var onunda . Öncesinde bunun kalibresi ekrandan yapıkıyor onu izleyin olmadı sökmeniz gerekecek

[@espresseo1613]

Thank you for your very helpful video. One question remains though. You said that the screw with the string attached is for demonstration, and that it belongs to the hole below. So it is enough to do that and pull on the string to get the motor aligned? What about the other holes, will they auto-align as well? As far as I can see, there is also one hole for a pin. Could you maybe be more specific? That part of the video caused a bit of confusion. Good job otherwise. Thank you for these very insightful videos!

[@arcgarage]

Thanks, yes the string will help you align the first, hardest to reach, screw, then you will be able to align the rest

What about the plastic pin ? When u pull it out and down as long as u can have access to the second bolt , what happens to the plastic pin? Breaks? Fall inside? And it isn’t necessary when u put the motor again in the first position ?

You can get motor off without breaking the pin, but even if the pin breaks everything will function properly when you put it back

[@LiteFlow_official]

Unfortunately 3d printed replacement parts for this WILL break after a short time, no matter the type of plastic used. Here in Italy there's a lot of people who have done this, myself included, multiple times. The trouble lays in the motor doing a full 360° on its own while the movement of the lever it's much shorter, and thus using the resistance offered by the lever itself to reach stop position in both directions. After a while the plastic gets torsion fatigued on the protruding axis locked in the motor hole and fails in the exact same way the original part does. To this day the only permanent solution is rigging some metal part together and hope that the torque won't just move the fail point onto the plastics in the motor itself
