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

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 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.

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!

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

You are the MAN!! My ‘07 Wolfsburg Jetta has been doing this for a few years. So annoying!! VW dealership wanted like $800 to fix it. I can’t WAIT to fix it myself! Thank you so much for posting this vid! Very well done, sir! 👏👏👏👏✊❤️

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

Thanks for his video. I had the same problem and I didn’t know how fixed, I’m proud myself because after watch your video I fix my car myself thanks

Oh man thank you so much for the vid this issue has been driving crazy for few months. I'll go ahead and replace the parts.

Thanks! Mine has been on for a few months now and it is driving me mad. I thought the whole dash needed to be removed. Glad that's not the case. Although I have a Rabbit, i think it should be the same. Thanks again!

Ours just went out😔 and thank you for making this video I'm going to do it myself🙆‍♀️😄

Once again thank👍you😊for making this video I just replaced my motor And I done it all by myself thank you😁👍

THANKS YOU MADE MY DAY WORKS LIKE A CHARME

Nice job and many thanks to whoever made this video possible...

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

Thanks for the video, I just ordered my part

Nice video. Mines been on for so long I just got used to it. Thinking about doing this though.

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

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

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.)

Very thankful with your help.....

Obrigado man!!! Thanks you for video

Thanks so match for share it more easy like was look liked thanks and cheers from east coast ...

Thanks bro love you for that

Thanks for saving me $500!!

good job. thanks!!

Very good video! I have the exact same problem and decided to order the part and hope to replace it tomorrow. Aside from these little types of annoyances. Are you happy with you 2008 VW Jetta? How many miles do you have on it? Have you experienced any transmission issues?

Thank you for this useful video

About to tackle this, let’s get it.

Thanks for this

thank you

Hi my friend I have a problem with the Passat CC. When running hot air the driver is only opened hot either the rest of the slots inside the car will be cold so my fain will be my problem. And thank you very much

thanks man, there is no fricking way I'm doing that

Thanks, I thought it was a spirit .

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

Nice

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

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...?

Hola tengo VW Touran tdi 140cv 2006 y no tengo aire caliente frio si tambien cuando tendria que salir caliente

Hi does this control temperature too? I have a golf mk5 1.9tdi and my heaters are cold.when I adjust the temp dial I can only hear this working upto about 1/5 of the dial. Anything after that there is no sound therefore I'm assuming it's this part?

Can I access the Blend Door while I’m in there, or is more access required / disassembling the dash more. I have the same issue and sounds with the Recirc Door or Motor and I also have no control of temperature; it’s stuck full hot.

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?

The one who does not get me hot air from the front of the passenger is this replacement or the motor ??? Does anyone know?

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

I fixed it by shimming the motor

Where the desert button

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

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