Glove Compartment Cooling Connection On Air Intake Housing
From 01/2008, A/C units which have an additional connection for the glove compartment cooling are being installed as a running change. On vehicles without glove compartment cooling, this connection is sealed with a plug.
On an air intake housing -D- with a connection for glove compartment cooling -C- the tab -E- is approximately 3 mm longer than on the version with the glove compartment cooling connection -C-, be sure to pay attention to the correct allocation. Refer to the Parts Information.
If an air intake housing -D- with a connection for glove compartment cooling -C- is installed into a vehicle, which before did not have an intake air housing -D- with a connection for glove compartment cooling -C-, then the pin -A- on the right radiator housing -B- must be shortened by approximately 3 mm (different versions).
On vehicles with an air intake housing -D- with a glove compartment cooling connection -C- but without the option "glove compartment cooling", the connection -C- is sealed with a plug -F-.
If the vehicle has the option "glove compartment cooling" then remove the plug -F- from the glove compartment cooling -C-.
On vehicles with "glove compartment cooling", the cooled air is routed from the A/C unit through the connection -C- and the air guide on the air intake housing -A- into the glove compartment. The foam seal seals the air guide and the glove compartment -B-.
For vehicles with glove compartment cooling, pay attention to the correct glove compartment version. Refer to the Parts Information and OVERVIEW - GLOVE COMPARTMENT .
