2010 VW Tiguan Cold Air On Passenger Side
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- This 2010 Tiguan was brought in due to the heater blowing cold air on the passenger side. A fault code for the recirculation door actuator lead me down the garden path... Problem turned out to be a leaking heater housing due to the cabin filter door not being sealed correctly. Video shows heater system testing using VCDS scan software.
my tiguan's having the same symtoms for 5 days right after cleaning evaporator service. the crews couldn't find the reason. i got upset.
Now i finally foind the reason from your video. Thank you so much. Have a good day!
from South Korea.
Wow how cold is it in South Korea?
Great video very informative, if only all mechanics were this thorough.
Expat in Europe, Thank you so much was dreading having to do a VCDS diagnosis. Thanks to your diagnosis checked the filter housing,and the previous tech didn't slide the cover on fully and filter dropped down. No warpage. Thank you thank you thank you ! Wife very happy!!!!!!
The dial in the glove box is to keep sandwiches and cans of pop cool
It's the gate under the dash board, 2 gates behind the heater core, drivers side opens, passenger side is stuck closed.
Thanks for video, is really help, i replace heater core, doesn’t work, coauae the dealership told to mu costumer, then I replaced it then the problem is only on the cover only
Thanks so much. I have a VW golf and this gives me something to look for!
Did you try turning the dial in the glove compartment to off! Fixed our problem immediately without any hefty expenses or investigation. Worth a try
That dial appears to allow heated or cooled air into the glove box. The actual problem on this was the cabin filter access door not being installed correctly. Thanks for the comment.
@@PhillipBailey thx Where is the cabin filter door located ?
@@sashakay6208 directly below the glove box. It's rectangular about 12 to 14 inches long and 2 inches wide. Slide to towards the passenger door and then straight down. You car may have a hush panel covering it though.
Very impressive on your common sense inspection repair👍👍👍
In hindsight I should have driven the vehicle first to experience the problem, probably would have not wasted time with the scanner. Step 1: Confirm the condition...
Good find Phillip, very tricky but u got it fix and u said using VCDS on the snap on are u using a wire or through Wi-Fi connection thanks.
I'm using the USB cable to the VCDS adapter. It does allow for WIFI but the cable is fast and reliable. I believe it uses internet explorer for wifi connection. I've only used this VCDS software 6 or 8 times since I bought it a year ago..
Excellent Video...
Hey Phillip. My flap opens and closes I'm no mechanic. My 2012 tiguan is cold on the passenger side and heat works fine on the driver side. Could it be the blend door actuator if it opens and closes? I've read alot of forums but seems they open or make noises when bad? My coolants is fine no leaks running fine tempature of the vehicle is fine. Just the heat on the one side and none on the other
if its dual zone AC then yes it could be the door actuator.
@@PhillipBailey I do not have dual zone. Just normal climate control. Everything seems fine besides on half of the vehicles heat is gone... Ive seen so much and watched this video to find out where it was what it was. But the actuator is opening the flap and closing when needed and no noise or odd sounds... got me somewhat stumped unless the heat core is clogged ?
@@zachwright219 Well if it only has one temp door and its moving then the most likely cause of the problem is that the heater core is clogged on one side. This happens on quite a few vehicles but I haven't seen it on VW but we don't actually have that may of them here. I'd try flushing the heater core first see if anything comes out. I've had some success with CLR left sitting in the core for a few hours. good luck
