Hi there,
I have a 99 model year passat 1.8 20v petrol & has had a ticking noise from from passanger dash area for the past 8 months. This would seem to be related to the V71 air flow flap motor. I've had this confirmed by my local specialist & also that this is a dash out 8 hour job for replacement of this £100 motor.
Is anyone aware of a workaround to avoid this or has completed / experience of this job themselves perhaps with a shortcut ?
I've had a quick look myself, glovebox out etc but stopped when looked like i'd need to start removing some more serious stuff to get near it.
Any advice would be appreciated, i'd find it hard to swallow a £700 garage bill for something that doesn't impact the running of a perfectly good car (just the annoying noise !
Many thanks in advance
Kevin
