Hi all,

 

Today I've decided to change my pollen filter. I've started by taking down the gray foam area from under the dash. Surprisingly, on top of the foam I find a small black piece, that fall down from somewhere.  It has two pieces, from which one is rotating. My first taught it was that it may be a part of the  re-circulating air flap control motor. I've looked into the Heating, Air Conditioning manual but I couldn't find anything.  I will be thankful for any help. 

*Side Note I have a Skoda Yeti 1.6 from 2011 without climatronic

 

 

All i can see is FX a #2 and a Y-on its left side

If everything is working fine maybe this is unrelated to the operation of your car and was "dropped" in during manufacture?

Looks like part of the damping mechanism for the upper dash storage box or any other likely candidates, what diameter is it?

Hi, 

 

"All i can see is FX a #2 and a Y-on its left side"

@gumdrop The writings are: Y 2 FX 27210. I'm quite sure that this is not it's serial number.

@Expatman I'm trying to find out the source of a squeaking noise  from under my dash board. I'm hearing this noise when I'm turning the air conditioner blower on, and it becomes more prominent when I'm going on a higher scale. I've had my worries that it may be a part of the blower, but I'm probably wrong and @J.R. is somehow right. I don't think someone from the skoda factory made a present. 

 

"Looks like part of the damping mechanism for the upper dash storage box or any other likely candidates, what diameter is it?"

 

The diameter is somewhere around 1.8 cm. It may be a part of the damping mechanism, but not from the upper dash board but from the glove-box. The back-wheel is moving quite hard, so it was probably projected to take a heavy load, like the things you are putting inside the glove-box. I've had some work on the upper closing mechanism a long time ago and I've probably did something wrong that made this little piece fall off. Thank you all for your responses. 

 

 

I can remember having parts like the above for one-off settings for initial setting up of components

adjusting opening and closing widths for set timings.

My first thought was the glovebox but being in another continent from my Yeti I could not check to see if the glovebox has a damping action, the size now known would correspond to that and not an ashtray or storage box cover.

 

I will check to see if mine is damped when I am reunited with it this weekend.

Its not the top box cover, has the glovebox lost any of the damping action?

This is one of the top box dampers.
 

Hi @Urrell,

 

When I bought the car, the glove-box wasn't functional. I've repaired the mechanism that open and closes the front panel without knowing how much damping it should have. Right now, if I push the opening handle it falls right away. So it is quite clear that the source of the problem is this little piece. It remains to find out were exactly it fits. Probably I will need to on screw the entire glove compartment for this.        

My glovebox opens slowly.

Saves me checking!

 

I bet BogdanV's opens as fast as gravity wants it to.

Yep )). Is moving faster than the blink of an eye.
