Hello all,
I recently bought a 2013 Passat Highline TDI(Ontario) and noticed that the front windsheild kept fogging up. After some investigation,it looks like I have a great amount of air coming out of the vents on recirc,but not with recirc off.
I was changing the wiper linkage and saw that the fresh air vent was closed. I manually opened it from outside the car and the results were awesome inside the car. Looks like I found the problem.
My question is in regards to the fix.
I see a lot of write ups on changing the recirc actuator but was wondering if thr Passat has 1 actuator specifically for the fresh air flap and a different one for the recirc flap.
I have found some pics online that make it seem like there are 2 but they do not show in the VW parts catalogue.
Any clarification would be helpful.
Thanks,
Mike
