Recirculation air flap malfunction

In the above vehicles, a damaged drive (Figure 1) between the recirculation air flap shaft and the recirculation air flap itself can lead to a malfunction.

This can be remedied using a repair kit (93196653; Figure 2). This method involves installing a modified recirculation air flap housing and replacing the short shaft in the flap motor with a longer variant.

To replace the components, proceed as follows:

• Unscrew the fan motor from the recirculation air flap housing (Figure 3)
• Disconnect the recirculation air flap housing from inside the engine compartment
• Remove the housing

• Remove the recirculation air flap motor (Figure 4) from the old housing, together with the shaft

• Detach the short shaft and mount the long shaft from the repair kit (drawing)

• Mount the motor in the new housing, together with the shaft
• Install the recirculation air flap housing and fan motor

After conversion, a basic setting and functional test should be carried out.
