Left Radiator Housing With Temperature Doors, Removing And Installing: Notes

NOTE:

The activation of the temperature doors and with it the radiator housing with the left temperature doors is different between vehicles equipped with "Convenience" and "Basis" A/C systems. Refer to OVERVIEW - AIR DISTRIBUTION HOUSING DOORS AND PARTITIONS  .

To maintain the A/C unit stability, only one radiator housing (the left or right side) may be removed with the A/C unit installed.

Depending on the production date, there are different versions of the levers and connecting elements on the A/C unit. At the start of production, the levers -A- were installed with a closed pin and the connecting rod -B-. In MY 2008, the levers -C- have a slotted pin and connecting rod -D-. When replacing, be sure to use the correct version..

CAUTION:

Do not remove the left and right radiator housing at the same time.

  • Both radiator housings are support components of the A/C unit and must not be removed at the same time or the A/C unit will become unstable.
  • If necessary, remove the left and right radiator housing one after the other.
