Hi all, had the usual issue with the cable kinking from the heater dials to the heater box in the dash. The White plastic fin type control lever at the side of the box in the pic below was removed due to a broken plastic sprung washer at the 5.5mm bolt.

Now need advice or a diagram to establish the correct position of the three operating levers that locate into the rear of this fin type main lever.

Hopefully will make some sense to someone with knowledge as have pursavered all weekend to no avail! Can't find a detailed pic on the net to assist?

Ultimately need info on the timing positions of the three cams that operate the air re circulation - any ideas folks?

just wondering if a solution was found to this? I'm having the same problem with mine and its looking likely that the dash needs to come out...

Did sort it of a fashion, turns out the issues are on the cams in the switchgear not here at the heater. Let me know I what issue is with yours, feel free to PM me.

Hi I'm having the same problem , the side cam was broken so I managed to repair and remount after trying several possible positions for the cam to link onto the pegs the slot into the grooves , however I have hardly any air on the screen when in that position and same with dash vents

Hello;

I am also looking for info as to where the 3 pins locate and also there is another centralised L-shaped lever behind that quadrant that does something by having pins at either end ??

I have only had the van a few months and tried to fit a new set of heater dials as previous owner had snapped the gears inside the unit , plus a quadrant as the location claws for cable had broken off..!

I thought it was all going well but upon taking it out I cannot find this extra lever on my car ( there is one with new quadrant) something is "notchy" and in the morning I will be looking inside dash to make sure its NOT there.

but also were does the new one go ??
