Heater Control sticking

Recommended Posts

On my 2.0 16v [94] the far left heater dial (direction screen/feet) will not rotate anti clockwise to the setting at say 1-o'clock.

 

I've seen it said somewhere that you must not try to force it, and somehow it can be fixed before you really break it. Anyone know?

 

Cheers

I think its something to do with the mechanism skipping cog-teeth behind the dash somewhere. Happened with annoying regularity on my Golf. You've got a late-spec interior though, so it may not be applicable... My golf one had left-right slidey knobs.

When i was buying the car, the [then] owner turned the dial fully to that position, but made a terrible noise, very stiff.

 

Somewhere on the net it was said that you shouldnt do this as somthing will break, you're to take apart & ?????
