VR6Pete 0 Posted December 13, 2010 Hi all. Looks like one of the clips that hold the cable has snapped and gone missing so I think I will be needing a new unit... Question: what is the blue cable for? It's gone really stiff... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volksworld13 0 Posted December 13, 2010 heres some pics of the unit, the tabs are glued back on with strong 2 part epoxy, im sure you could make something out of the two? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 11, 2011 i checked out my bowden cables, all seem fine. just wasnt secured to one end, so gave the impression it was stiff. Are they all easy to move by hand across the whole travel? What usually causes the left knob to fail is the blue cable (windscreen vent) going too stiff. VW cut it a little short to be honest and people (read: alarm fitters) tend to cable tie things to it over the years, which doesn't help matters. The left knobber is a two stage fella. As it opens the screen vent, it also closes the foot vent at the same time. The screen vent is the stiffer of the two and folk tend to force the dial round and that's when teeth start unmeshing, cable clips snap off and the controls break etc etc. I fitted a Passat one some years ago and it's been fine ever since. Still not perfect. I have to 'feel' the screen vent in and will it only open after the heater box has fully warmed up. Feet and face are fine all year round though. My advice is this time of year is to leave the vent on the screen if it works. That way you can at least have a working demist function! I never did look into why the screen flap is so stiff as it's a dash out job, but every corrado I've been in, the left knob goes stiff when selecting the screen. Interestingly, MK3 Golfs don't get this problem. Same system, but different control panel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Kev, some good info there buddy. yeah it seems to be fine across the whole cable, and the cable seems to move freely in the sleeve! I'll have another look toinght as I gotta order a new bonnet cable before I finish it all off on the 5th/ 6th feb, so might just order one and have done with it? Do you know the part number? I really need functioning heaters as i've got an air lock in the coolant system that I am hoping will shift once I get the heaters blowing. Will make sure I get some plastic grease and give everything a good lube up before re-fitting the new pannel (When I eventually get one!) It wont be until summer before its on the road anyway!
