Recirculated Air Flap

[Gberry11]

Hello,

 

Galaxy 1.9 TDI 2001 aircon unit flashes for 15 seconds on power on

 

I got a VAGCOM cable from ebay which tells me this error:

 

1 Fault Found:

01596 - Motor for Outside/Recirculated Air Flap (V154)

35-00 - -

 

 

 

TIS manual tells me to "Measure the voltage at the fresh air/recirculation air door motor, connector C306, between pin 3 (BK/WH), harness side and pin 2 (BU/WH), harness side."

 

 

Can anyone please advise as to where this is? Behind the dash I guess. Is there an easy way to access the motor and flap.

 

 

Many Thanks.

I'm looking forward to know that as well, because I keep getting the same fault code with my VAG-COM..

Its can be accessed from below the dash, can't remember which side.....one side is the up/down flap and the other is the recirc......the nasty one is the hot/cold flap which is on top of the heater unit and almost inaccesible without removing the dash.

 

Should therefore be easy enough to get to....hopefully someone will tell you which side its on.
