Hi guys, just wonder if anyone out there has a bit more knowledge of this problem?

 

I used to own a Skoda Fabia VRS & I found this forum extremly helpfull. However, I dont own it anymore but my wife has a 1.9tdi Golf Plus which is very similar.

Anyway, the internal air blower system decided to self destruct! The fan blower bearings went which inturn blew the fuse relay. So I've replaced the fan & relay but noticed the Air Con Heater Vent Flap motor wasnt moving.

Does anyone know if the motor has a fuse or does it look like it needs replacing? I've taken it off & the Cog/Gear is solid - no moment at all. I suspect this shouldnt be the case.

On a side note, because I've removed the glovebox l, I had to disconnect the airbag. Unfortunately, because I turned on the ignition witout it being connected, I now have an airbag error light on the dash. Is there anyway to clear this without VCDS?

It has to be correctly installed and 'timed' (cogs in proper position to operate) and motor has to be adapted via VCDS. Airbag light would need VCDS as well. Here's how it goes in the Mk1 Fabia, hope it is of help.


 

I'd think that the gearing will be what is making that flap motor impossible to move with moderate force.  Have you exhausted all means of trying to command it to move using the heater controls?
