Replace DRIVER SIDE heater control, temperature flap position motor. B108D71 (VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda)

[@georgehaigh4614]

By far the best and most detailed video I've found for this. Thanks for putting the time and effort into making this

[@wawayltd]

Thanks George 👍

[@johnkirby8849]

Your video is the only one I’ve come across for a right hand drive car. Perfect. Thanks for posting such an informative and detailed video. It helped me a lot.

[@wawayltd]

You're very welcome, John 👍

[@Francisco-sx7th]

Very clear explanation as usual. I had no idea how that system could work and now I feel less stupid. Thanks for that and keep helping us to repair our cars with your comprehensive videos. Cheers.

[@Francisco-sx7th]

@@wawayltd Sometimes it's not possible as you need dedicated tools or equipment but globally you are right. It's like basic maintenance, oil change, filters change etc...why pay crazy money for that? I do myself and use highend oils instead of what garage offers. I have a VW CC 2.0 TDi, 345.000km and drives almost like new.

[@khalidahmed2877]

Very helpful - was about to order a heater core as thought that was the issue then came across this video. Ordered a heater flap motor on eBay 2nd hand for £10 it is a bit fiddly to do but it solved the issue and now both drivers and passenger vents blow hot and cold. Thank you.

[@wawayltd]

You're welcome 👍 Nice to know that it helps someone 😊

[@jasonjay7650]

I have a golf gtd Mk7 that blows hot passenger side and cold drivers side. Could this be the issue as I thought it was the heater core but my silica bag hasn't split.?

[@wawayltd]

I would try to open up and see if the flaps are moving when the temperature settings are changed.

Great job explaining the alignment of the gear and valve I think I have a stuck valve on my Jetta so this came at a good time.. Thanks 👍🏻

[@wawayltd]

You're welcome 👍 Sometimes, it can be misaligned gearing. In my case, little motor was not moving. Perhaps some internal issues, but 40 quid from AutoDoc seemed an easy option. There is a video on KZbin of someone disassembling this motor. Too clever for me... Or maybe just a lack of time.

[@swaitsysg4415]

Great vid. I've a similar problem on my A6 so this has been handy. I've been following your channel for years, your walkthroughs have been invaluable!

[@wawayltd]

Good to know that they make it for A6 same way. My 2005 A6 had a weird and unreliable heater control.

It's slightly different on a manual mk7 gti because the access is reduced to the two screws. I had to use a small Allen key for the bottom screw to loosen. Then used a 5.5m hex. ​@@wawayltd

Awesome video. Very clear instructions. I have the same problem for 1 year now. Can you tell me, is this the same flap motor that controlls the windscreen air? My driver side and windscreen vents are blowing cold air only, and passenger side is working fine.

[@wawayltd]

Hello. Thanks 👍. Yes, it is supposed to control temperature for the driver's side, whether it's blowing on a windscreen or on your feet.

[@S40TBS]

Great video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@wawayltd]

Thanks 😎👍

[@Decree99]

Hi great video I have a seat Leon 2013 5f would this be the exact same way to do it in my car as you have done in the video

[@wawayltd]

I don't have any info on Leon, but it might as well be the same. This control motor can be visible before doing the job, so my advice would be - have a look under the dash.

[@robhunter6772]

This video is reslly good 👍 got one side of my heating not as warm as the other so im guessing it could be this motor!? Ive tried the reset by pressing the two buttons and it hasnt worked. So will check this next thankyou

Very nice explanation you did there, i have the same problem and i bought a new heater control and replaced it like you did but its still not moving, nothing happens when i change the heater from hot to cold, and im kinda lost now and dont know where the issue from

[@wawayltd]

I don't know.. Maybe wiring?

[@Razecx]

At Seat Leon 5f I have a strange sound from that place when I turn on the AC, like a propeller hitting againts something. Can be that piece?

[@wawayltd]

Is that when you turn on the toggle AC or when the air blower is turning on?

[@Razecx]

@@wawayltd whenever the ac is turned on in any position, temp etc

[@wawayltd]

Does it make a noise with air blowing without AC on?

[@Razecx]

@@wawayltd yes

I reckon that your blower might be going. Especially if the noise is coming from behind the glove box: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mamtmmhvfNR1aNUsi=Qd9Ma3r3c6U_nQNS

could you show this similar on a the Sharan 7N or do you have any instructions for me, where i can achieve them..greets from BERLIN

Guten Morgen! I sold my Sharan, but I can recommend a good place for VW manuals directly from manufacturer. Best to visit it through a computer browser, as they seem to be not quite mobile friendly. Please check this website: erwin.volkswagen.de/erwin/showHome.do

[@game4alaughman]

I have noise coming from this area, but I just notice that when a/c is on I have cold air passenger side side BUT hot air on drivers side. Should I buy this part, do you think it will fix this

[@wawayltd]

If the temperature on one side is completely not as you set it and expect it. There's a big chance that it's a flap motor fault.

[@game4alaughman]

@@wawayltdThank you for your time and effort doing this video & helping people save money. Should be easy fix for me… Not long got a 2014 Octavia & the heating is driving me nuts with clicking….. If not on High then click click click all the bloody time. Only stops clicking if off or on high, even if I turn down heat by 1 then clicking starts arghhhh again !!!!!

hi, do you have a video on how to change the oil in a manual transmission on a vw sharan 7n?

[@wawayltd]

No, I don't. I've done it once on 320K, and it was pretty clear. It meantto last lifetime. You can easily find drain plug and another plug for filling up and level on a side. It only takes about a litre.

[@maximusfuscus]

My 2012 Yeti Tdi 2.0 is blowing heat to the driver's but not passenger's. Air comes out of the vents but no hot heat. Tried re-calibration and it seems to work for 1-2 seconds then back to colder air. What could it be? The anti-freeze is 1 year old.

[@wawayltd]

Probably heat flap control needs to be checked.

[@R3MILI]

Ive a problem with my audi a6c6 , i dunno why it dont blow hot air , it does only cold air . Ive cleaned those two near windshield, but nothing happening , still blow cold air . When i remove the bolts it come out hot water , so i think radiator is good , what can it happent how to fix it , can it be the motors that change from cold to hot or not ?

In A6 C6 there's no motors, there are solenoids that get stuck - check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGPJiJKOeKaoZ6ssi=0swd9Yc8_Db1d3Lc And this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ3VlomOpqZmb5Isi=4337GbeOrVXE0GNs
