Mines just started doing the same thing, doesnt do it all the time, carried out basic settings and the fault erased but then started doing the fan blowing a week later!!!!!!!!!!!!!........VW...............

Wow, I picked up a fault code to do with this last week when I got my cable. Didn't know what it was on about till I got in the car on a 37 degree day and recirc wouldn't work...
Urotuning seemed to be a winner but come checkout time, there's no country options aside from the USA and Canada.

I emailed them and asked if they ship to Australia - Justin replied and said it will be $110USD including shipping. Email them with your address and they will send you a paypal invoice! Wonder if I should email him and ask how much for a group buy? If there are already 4 of us who need this part it might be cheaper to combine the shipping? Would you guys be keen? I've emailed and asked for a price for 4 anyway just in case theres interest, so I'll let you all know...anyone else who is interested let me know.

Anyone know what size torx screwdriver you need to get the glovebox off? I want to get one out of the stores at work so I can have a look and make sure it is that motor playing up...apparenty there are 3 of them for the A/C in total?

I'd definitely be keen for a group buy mate.

Not sure about the torx size...sorry mate. i might have a look tonight.

we're all in different states, so I'll see what he comes back with and then work out how much it will cost for me to post it, provided theres enough interest from everyone else!

Interesting. I think mine's broken too as it doesn't close and air blows out constantly. No doubt they'd be a pain in the arse to change though

Here's the instructions:

Air flow flap motor -V71-, removing and installing

Removing
- Remove glove box.
- With screwdriver, carefully unclip air flow flap rod from lever.
- Disconnect electrical connector.
- Remove screw.
The flap motor is connects to the evaporator housing portion of the heating and A/C unit. To prevent damage:
- Lower flap motor and at the same time pull off fresh air/recirculating air flap shaft.

So it would 'seem' that it's not that hard...however looking at posts from vortex it took 1 guy 7 hours!!! Another guy said it took a while and was a lot of fiddling around

Let me know if you want the part as I'm looking into a group buy
