I have had this code [01274 - Air Flow Flap Positioning Motor (V71)] since I bought my 2006 Superb but have not gotten around to fixing it. The A/C is cooling the air effectively, but there is little pressure coming out of the A/C vents. It does feel like the systems is working, but misdirecting the air (flap is stuck). Is there a way to manually move the flap and then disconnect the V71 so that the flap never gets mis-positioned again? I searched the forums but did not find a clear answer. And if the above is not possible, does anyone have any idea how many hours of labour it is to replace the part in question? Thank you.

Thanks everyone, I will try to pick on some mats on my next trip to the US.
