Volkswagen Tiguan Service and Repair Manual: Adjustment Motors

Temperature Control Door Motor -V68-, Removing and Installing

Special tools and workshop equipment required

• Vehicle Diagnostic Tester

Note

• The motors were changed starting from 11/04/2013. See the general information.
• The color-coded connecting elements on the actuator have been discontinued as a running change as of 11/04/2013 for those connecting elements installed by the manufacturer and delivered as a replacement part. Additionally the connecting elements are no longer preinstalled on actuators that are delivered as a replacement part.
• The actuators and the associated connecting elements differ. In some cases, however, the differences are so small that they are not always easy to detect at first glance. If a different version of the actuator or a connecting element is installed than the designated version, it usually leads to problems when performing the final basic setting.
