The following illustrations show the arrangement of the actuators and their retaining plates on the left side of the A/C unit with the air channel leading to the left instrument panel vent -A- removed for clarity.
The air guide channel leading the left instrument panel vent -A- is secured by an expanding clip or a screw -B- onto the instrument panel crossmember -C- ; the expanding clip or the screw can only be removed when the outer instrument panel shell is removed.
-- Carefully loosen the air guide channel leading to the left instrument panel vent -A- from the A/C unit vent.
-- Mark the connector -D- if necessary (to rule out an interchange in the event several connectors are disconnected at the same time).
-- Disconnect the connector -D-.
-- Remove the bolts -C-.
To remove the bolt -C-, the Wrench - Special Ratchet T40083 may also be used.
-- Press the curved washer -E- toward the A/C unit and remove the shaft -A- (of the actuator -B-) from the curved washer -E-.
The Left Center Vent Motor -V110- operates the connector rod -F- via the curved washer -E- (and with it the door for the left indirect ventilation) and the door for the left center instrument panel vent via the lever -G-. If the lever pin -G- becomes loosened out of the curved washer guiding groove -E- when removing the actuator, the door for the left center instrument panel vent will not actuate.
In MY 2008, revised toothed gears -A- and a new bracket were installed as a running change (a revised collar on the toothed gear and a revised hole). Ensure the correct allocation of the toothed gear to the bracket (these parts are supplied together as a replacement part). .
The connector rod -F- actuates the door in the left center vent.
