Well a while back I bought some blend motors to get rid of the dreaded book symbol and have the climate control temperature working both sides. But I've been too lazy and haven't got around to it. Truth be told it wasn't too bad as the temperature stayed ok. I guess when it sensed too cold it turned the air con off so the slightly warm air then heated the cabin back up. Just wasn't as effective as it should have been in extreme heat or cold or in the morning demist. And at one stage I had hot one side and cold the other so climate control was operated by turning vents off ha ha. Yeh I know that is pretty lazy.
Anyway, I now have a drip and smell of coolant in the driver's side foot well.
So now this needs fixing so it's made it worth while fixing the blend motors. I feel blessed ha ha.
I've read that I should get the proper orings as some people put what they thought were equivalent and they leaked.
Anyone suggest any local sources? I'm Sydney based.
And I'm pretty sure I can do both the blend motors and the orings with the same shortcut method of drilling a hole in the rear duct. Well I'm hoping that's the case. Don't particularly want to pull the dash out as I'm not super keen to replace the heater box with an Audi one.
