Description and Operation

The climate control housing contains the blower motor, the pollen filter, the heat
exchanger, he evaporator (on vehicles with air conditioning (A/C)), the electric booster
heater (if equipped) and various air deflection flaps.

Blower motor

CAUTION: Do not put the blower motor down on the blower motor fan wheel.

To prevent damage to the fan wheel vanes, the fan wheel must not be touched. For this
reason, a special tool (412-131) has been introduced for removal and installation of the
blower motor. This tool is pushed onto the central shaft in order to lift out the blower
motor.

Heat exchanger

The heat exchanger is accessible from the right-hand side of the climate control housing
(LHD and RHD). It can be removed and installed with the climate control housing still
installed in the vehicle. During removal, the coolant pipes of the production heater core
must be sawn through. During servicing, a heater core with separate coolant pipes is
installed.

Evaporator

The evaporator is located on the right-hand side of the climate control housing (LHD and
RHD). It can be removed and installed with the climate control housing still installed in the
vehicle, although the heat exchanger does need to be removed first. The refrigerant lines of

the production evaporator must be sawn through during removal. An evaporator with
separate refrigerant lines is installed in service.
