Omg, I can’t believe you removed the entire dashboard! That seems like the most complex piece of Rube Goldberg machinery ever designed. Very very impressed that you were then able to actually reassemble it, as well as track down the problems and figure out the issues with incorrect parts from VW, and the software recalibration. Mad respect.

Great video. Made me realize I'm going to sell my car since there's no way I'm going attempt doing this myself... FML

this is the best video on this issue I've seen in a while I have a 2012 Passat but I can tell it's the same type of issue and seeing the amount of labor involved to pull the entire dash out I'm not paying $1,000 to have this done but I kick where the actuator is and I'm able to get some heat on my driver side which is wonderful for winter in upstate New York thank you for this very informative video

Thank you so much I've been looking for about a year now. We have the same problems with our golf so this also works with an Mk7 golf could you put that in the description please I think it would help other people too :)

This is the best godamn video I've ever seen and needed! Thanks

Very helpful vid, thanks for putting this together!

This is super helpful! My daughter doesn’t get any air from the footwells. Which actuator is damaged. I just replaced one of the actuators thinking it was for the foot and according to your video, it was for the temperature.

Wow! Amazing video! Now it’s time to rip open that dash! 😅

I have a 2012 vw Passat and the air doesn't come out at all from 1 through 6 but everything else works and there is no check engine do u think it's the compressor it makes a clicking sound when I turn the nob if there is any advice u can give me I'd appreciate it

You rock dude

hi i watch your video and it realy very good i need your assistant .of course if you know. I have passat B8 and at rear air duct all the time the air is cold eithr i set the temperature to high. service team check the system and say to me the actuator V-137 is the problem.Can you confirm about this..and also to advice how to renew.

Question I have a 2012 VW CC 2.0 sport , every time I turn my A/c on to like 1-4 it makes this weird noises by the front vents how do I get rid of that ? Plus my ac not blowing cold air

Would it be possible to change temperature actuator without taking apart whole front dash?

i have a 2015 and i’m having blend door issues , center vents , left is hott , and right is cold. which actuator would it be ???

I have just bought a 2016 used volkswagen passat R Line with the same issue of the middle AC vent not working, is it going to take the process of removing the dashboard to get this fixed

Hi there. Thanks for this detailed video. I can still not make out what is the part number for the centre door flap actuator? Regards Duan

I have a B108C71 code, that doesn't blow cold in the driver-side vents. What module should I replace?

Hoping you are still monitoring this. I have a 2014 Passat TDI SEL (has dual zone automatic climate) with a temp issue (not the heater core). I noticed my passenger side doesn't match the driver's. Sometimes it's cold when I want heat and sometimes it's hot when I want AC. And other times it works as it should. Example today, 79* outside, driver's side is ice cold with AC as well as the left vent in the center. Right center vent and passenger is blowing hot air. From my understanding there is a blend door for the driver's temp and a blend door for the passenger side but I didn't see you comment on the passenger side temp door. I'm trying to figure out if this is one I have to pull the dash to replace and where it is located. I saw your driver's one as well as the recirc and the upper left center for the direction (defrost, face, floor). I'm trying to avoid taking this to a mechanic and would attempt to do this myself based on the KZfaq videos I've watched. However I still don't know the location of this particular door to fix my passenger temp control.

what kind of autel scanner? You can recode from the scanner without sending the actuator to VW

Hello sir I have a question in reference to my heating system in my VW 2016 Passat, you’re very knowledgeable about this subject hopefully you can help me with my issue. So when I turn on the heater it blows nothing but cold air through all of the vents. I thought that even though the heater wasn’t working that I would still get warm air blowing through the vents from the engine but that’s not the case. My car’s interior remains super cold inside any ideas. Thanks in advance for your response.🙏🏾

Hello - thank you for posting this video. I have a 2017 VW Passat. I am not getting any airflow through the center vents (above the nav screen) or the floor vents on either side. No matter which mode I select or Auto, airflow only comes through windshield vents and side vents. I did the climate system reset (hold down front mode and A/C buttons), and that did not fix it. Any idea if this issue sounds like it is related to one of the actuators you referenced here? Which one? Thank you.

My heaters aren't blowing at all.. What do you think ???

Hi, thanks for posting.....my issue no right heat control, but VCDS (RossTech) gives back an "all clear" when running the control motors from end stops to rehome.....worry that something on right side temp control is binding?...sounds like only couple items need the whole dash out......OK there are 8 control motors mentioned in VW Maintenance manual for HVAC; and the first 6 do not specify full dash removal. The 2 who require full dash removal are Front Air Distribution Motor (here OP had no air flow in center, makes sense) and the Air Distribution Door Motor (seems to be another motor works with the Front?) > these two are basically under the dash and mounted directly to the main HVAC box.....rest of them need partial disassembly of portions of center console, portions of footwell, glove box, etc > think my only issue is don't get "hot" air on Right side, but flows all change correctly....so I am going with Right Side Temp Control to start. Highly recommend you all pay the 24 hour fee for erWin and input your VIN and download every .pdf that VW says applies to your vehicle (it is a lot! TSBs, maintenance and repair manual, new vehicle in-service, training materials, yeah lot of stuff in there).....service manuals are only online now for VWAG. Cheers! Since these buggers are failing a bit now (mine is 2014 Passat SE)....will try to video how it goes, I am not interested to remove the whole dash if I don't need to!

Nice video thanks. I’m assuming it’s similar on a CC One question. Do you happen to know where the fresh air pulls in from when it’s not being recirculated in the cabin. I can’t seem to be able to trace it. And I’m getting a smoke smell from a previous owner. I wanna clean and spray some air freshener into it. Thanks

I would be interested to seeing a cold start fix on the Passat

What would you replace if all your vents work but my car switches between only running ac or only running heat no matter if i have it set to max AC or heat?

i have a 2015 vw passat s. the middle console vent isnt blowing any air. so i did some digging and it say tha i need to replace a temperature actuator part #561907511D. is this part located behind the glove compartment.. this is my first time working on a vw. please help

Great video, I am facing the same issue but dont have access to the tools and motor. My hypothetical fix was to remove the central vents from inside the car and manually rotate the ventsby hand like in the video. But the resistance is too much. Any idea how it can be done?

Could this cause high pressure senor falut code

I have a 2012 Jetta heat and air only work when I drive it

So what opens the 2nd heater flap on the wrong heater box? I need that one open cause I only get heat on the driver side.

Damn I guess it’s time to sell my car. I ain’t got the time or money to replace the damn dash

Hello, I have a question , if anyone can answer. I have 2016 jetted STI, air come in the vents when nothing is turned while driven, meaning the fan is off and air still comes through the vents. If I want air to only come out by the feet for example, I put the vent setting to feet , but a small amount of air still comes out the vents. It still under dealer warranty but the dealership says nothing is wrong ,” it’s normal “ and the refuse to do anything about it. I feel like it’s the air circulation motor that is bad , they disagree

are you in Virginia man? do you want to work on my car? i have the same issue

I wish the video showed where to find how to remove the dash

How much would you reasonably pay for something like this to get done?

That is insanity. ZERO thought about part failure and replacement. Well, typically, they design vehicles for ease of assembly on the line. However, that you have to go into the computer to code the parts is another way to make sure that even if you are ambitious enough to remove the dash, most people are not going to be able to do the computer work.

Fick that's to much i have same problem

This is why I regret owning a VW. Great fuel economy but otherwise, pieces of shit. I have 118k miles on my diesel and I am replacing parts almost monthly.
