To properly repair the blend doors you need to remove the dash and heater box which an all day event. I found a quicker easier way to do it !

This is the same way we did ours 4 years ago. Cut the airbox and seal with HVAC tape. It is still working just fine. Small hands help! We reattached the cut off flap with 5-minute epoxy to pin it in place and then used clear silicone all around to seal.

I can understand the "saving money" part... but what about the other blend door that's above the hot / cold door that you fixed? I believe it's the one that directs the hot / cold up or down.

Thank you very much for sharing this. Very informative, and a way better alternative than pulling the dash.

What did you use to repair the heater box when you finished?
@DJsWorkshop5 ай бұрын
I used a flat blade soldering iron and melted the plastic back together, basically welded it back together

That's what I've been doing for years but without cutting any of the plenum assembly or taking the dash all apart like that

How?
@braddowns172 ай бұрын
@mingram By going through the floor vent from driver's side. Remove the lower center dash pieces. Then lay on your belly and reach in with left hand and remove all old foam and then the same way to put in the aluminum duct tape. I cut 2" pieces and work at covering the holes. Ours has been over 8 years now and I've done quite a few other Eurovan's and Rialta's with the Eurovan chassis. Also quite a few others have used my method.

Any tips on getting the hole cut properly? Yours looked pretty clean!
@DJsWorkshop6 ай бұрын
I just carefully cut the lines straight with a multi-tool. Worked well for me.

Great idea, great video. Unfortunately I paid someone last year.... I have the earlier (pre'96) model, I suspect this would work on that as well, do you know?

The design might be a little different but I think the procedure would still work.
@davidbiloen50378 ай бұрын
Thanks. Again: great video, I bet at some point it will take off. This is a terrible problem which everyone with AC in a vw T4 (maybe you should put T4 in the title) has.

How did you ‘weld’ the cover back in place - JB Weld?

I melted it back together with a flat blade wood burning iron
@jseaseva7 ай бұрын
I just did mine and instead of welding the piece i had cut out (since i had to enlarge the opening) i just used the same duct tape over the opening. Worked great!😅

Does this work on other year models of Euro Vans, like for the 93' I have? I have an instruction, but it shows it with taking the hole dash apart!
@DJsWorkshop6 ай бұрын
I am not sure but I would think that it would. Obviously they are not going to want you to cut a hole,but it worked for me and saved me a lot of time and aggravation.

Thank you for this video! Did you also seal up the second Door in there that is used for Flow Direction control? I couldn't tell by the video.

You referenced a "multi-tool". Did you use a Leatherman or similar? Manual cut it like a small saw?

It was an oscillating multi tool like this. www.harborfreight.com/3-amp-variable-speed-oscillating-multi-tool-59163.html

Hi , I watched your video and woukd like to try this . I know it’s a long shot that you would know , but do you think it would work on 1995 EVC? Thanks
@DJsWorkshop7 ай бұрын
I don't know for certain but if the setup looks the same then I would think that it would.
