Heating problem

Post by gerhicks »

Hi all, a new Passat owner here - 2014 2.0 TDI BMT

Just this morning a loud clicking noise has appeared when the heating or aircon is on. The noise appears to be coming from the drivers side, near the pedals.

Online research suggests that this is a faulty blend door actuator / air recirc flap motor.

Any video I have looked at on YouTube is for a LWD and doesn't fill a novice like me with confidence.

Would any kind soul talk me through the fix for this step by step? Money is low so near Xmas so want to avoid the garage if possible (been told its easy to fix lol)
