AC Recirculation Actuator

[tripl-e]

Hi all,
Newly acquired a3/b4 has no a/c recirculate function. Traced vacuum leak back to the actuator at the recirc. flapper. Removed actuator and disassembled-busted diaphragm. Local parts guy can't find replacement part in VW system and my etka has not arrived yet.
Is this a replaceable part? Are they going to try to sell me a whole new HVAC housing to get a $0.20 bit of rubber?
TIA

Perhaps it's 191 820 677 B? I believe it's the item under 23 on illustration 820-10.... But I could be wrong.

Check out this PDF.

It's $44 at Impex.

Vacuum unit

Although the item does not appear in the diagram it seems logical that it would be the 'vacuum unit' associated with the intake plenum, where it is mounted.
That is a great help! Thanks much...

If it's a B4, that should be the number. If it's a A3, the number is 1H1 820 677.
