Hi, any chance you can post a couple of pics with some guidance how you changed the stepper motors? CheersHi @Ads_Essex, still not 100% but partially due to my laziness!!
The short version is I replaced the stepper motor which opens/closes the hot/cold flap, also replacing the plastic control arm with the one Tony P supplied.
It then needed plugging in to reset the HVAC controls as the new motor needed to be calibrated to factory settings. A local specialist helped me out here as it wasn't playing ball at first.
The hot/cold selection was then sorted but the cycling of vent positions continued. After a little more troubleshooting and signal testing of various wiring (again by the local VW specialist) We're 99% sure this is a fault in the heater control panel but I just haven't picked up a replacement yet.
It's because you have broken arm on driver side also, take out plastic cover on top of pedals. You will see other side of blower box. You can manually close flap there. There is guy here who 3d printed that arm because you can't buy it. I'm going to change blower box personally.
My vehicle is the T6 T32 on a 2017 plate so my Actuator Fan Air Flap is as per my photo
Just to add, changing this part only controls the flap which opens and closes exterior air and interior recirculation as per the dedicated button on the heater control.
Thanks Tony, yes that is very strange, i brought the Genuine like for like Actuator which obviously had the arm built onto it from VW, had i known that just the arm could be replaced i wouldn't of bothered, needless to say this still hasn't sorted the issue as to why i am still getting hot air blowing with no cold at all in the cabin.
yep same arm removed and exactly the same part fitted, its working as it should, i obviously have/had two faults and this fault is not the cure for the hot air, i had read somewhere that VW new the Actuator was trouble some in the T6 so maybe i got lucky and had the upgraded part which is still current in the T6.1. who knows.
