Super helpful vid, thanks! Had the blower motor replaced by a vw garage and I had this issue with the controls. They took the van back and told me it needed another control mechanism that was probably due to old age/'wear and tear'. They would need to order the part from Germany at £153 and there was a 10 day delay. Fitting of this new part was to be £59, so it was going to cost me over £200 for something that was working perfectly well before the blower was changed. I ordered the cable (£15) as you suggested and did the whole job in less than 30 mins! Thank you bud!
Damn, all your cars are right hand drive. I cannot change the rope by removing the glove box. because the torpedo of the vehicle is on the right. thank you again. an instructive video.
Only turn it anti- clockwise in the future. One of my cable / rod things bent whilst being pushed but was fine being pulled... But only when the functions are cycled anti clockwise.
Hi everybody, having the same problem as described in the video. Question: I have the steerwheel on the left side. Would you think the end of the cable is mirrored and I will find it behind the dash board compartment. I ask this, because I had some one look at it and he unscrewed part of the dash board and said that the cable was attached behind the steering wheel and it would be a hell of a job, because the whole dashboard had to be uninstalled. Honestly, seeing the video that doesn't make much sense to me as I guess everything is mirrored.
Sorry for reserecting this great video,but can you tell me if when i have tge cable removed from the dials unit should i be able to turn the dial freely,,mine is still jammed in place,so im thinking it may be the unit thats the problem not the csble,, it is the braded one but looks ok.. Thanks
