Hi Darren

Since you have retrofitted the mk6 climate control unit have you had any fault logged?

Hi Darren,

Can you tell me what the benefits are with the C version (the LED one) over my B version?

Is the screen brightness any better?   :popcornsoda:

I am not sure if everyone else's is the same but sometimes the display is quite dark. I did notice the little round sensor in the top right of the unit. When I shine a torch into it, the screen goes really bright. Just wish it would go brighter when there is no light. :sad1:

How much can you get a fully loaded LED version for mate?

Carlo the LED screen is miles better and high res so looks better, the brighness is not an issue and in fact i have mine set to the darker option in the display menu :happy2: thats how better it is my B version was always set to brighter. I can do the LED c version for £600 when they turn up that is?

Darren is that a GTi front bumper then? Is it the same as the GT later bumper just with different grills? I'd love the gti grille with the red stripe but have the GT lats rather than the honeycomb.... is that what you've done?

lol cant believe i didnt think to have a look for a build thread on your car, im the guy that sent you a pm about the climatronic, car is real nice, black when detailed is like glass,

just a few questions to ask you fitted

 the air QUALITY sensor as you had the 2 motors for the air not one?

do i need to fit a AQS to mine, my car is a 2008 mk5 r32 with dual zone climate control, ac/auto/heated seats etc

also you said you got new labels for DANA at ross tech is the label meaning for the actaul climatronic in the central electrics

also do you have the function to message fault in vag-com as i read on vwnavi that only cars built from i think 2009 onwards wont get this error because of some controll unit

i get the impression you have 0 faults in vag-com

hope you dont mind me asking all these questions, thanks in advance

Hi daz yes its the later gt/gti front bumper with the GT grilles,  I did have the gti grilles in before but wanted the car looking more like a diesel so changed them to the GT grilles.

M44NTU-3.2 I have the AQS on mine and it does work fine but my recirc motors don't work right so I have ordered the new mk6 recirc flap and motor to replace my 2 motors to 1 motor.  You don't need to fit the AQS to get the climatronic to work?  every thing else works fine by just swapping the pins 16 on the big plug to pin 20.

DANA give me the new label files just so my VCDS see's the new climate panel properly.

thanks for the reply mate

yep i read somewhere that cars before 2007 had the 2 motors before from 2007 onwards vw changed them to 1 motor,.

so i dont really need the labels? only reason i ask is, dont want any errors, like to have 0 faults lol,

Cheers James

Bit of a tidy up, and also fitted the new duct for the recirc flap, it stopped working so I needed to change to the single motor that is on the newer mk5 and mk6 golfs.

The offending part


Stripping the dash down



Boot full of parts


Hooooooo




The new part in and working properly now, plus all the wiring tidied up



Every thing is now back in and working properly.  there is now no rattles at all, I found loads of bolts and screws that where just finger tight :sad1:

Cheers

Darren

Seeing a golf in that state makes me feel very nauseous. Better you than me.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Hi Darren,

Great work, where did you pick up all the knowledge? Are you an auto electrician?
