In today’s video I show you how to remove a Volkswagen re-circulation motor. This is a common VW problem, and when these motors fail they make loud and annoying noises, and allow your car to suck exhaust into the cabin. These recirculation motors fail in the Golf, Jetta, Rabbit, GTI, Passat and R32 and become noisy. This problem is particularly apparent on the MK5 generation, including 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.

Should this flap be able to be controlled while AC is off? Mine still can close and open while AC is on but when AC is off, the recirculation button remains open (will not engage). Is my motor possibly going bad here? I have a 2006 MKV Jetta btw.
hey, I know it's been a minute, but is it the same part number for a 2009 Passat? Thanks for the vid!
very cool dude that helps thanks
how do i replace one on a polo 5?
can you do one for a volkswagen touareg 2008
Does anyone know if this actuator strictly controls whether incoming air is recirculated or comes directly from the outside? My issue is the A/C takes miles to kick in and I pretty sure its a blend door issue, but not sure which actuator to dig into.
Excellent video! Subscribed.
Why is cold air on passenger side under the glovebox on winter time with heating on ?
Is this likely what’s wrong if the fan is blowing hard, but no air out of the vents? How do you differentiate this from a blend vent failure?
Had the same issue on my VW Rabbit 2006. This video helped me to do what I need to do. Thanks Cash!
Simple and to the point, that's how video's should be thumbs up.
So I tried following along but I have been trying to install the motor on the three pegs for 2 hours and I can't get it on. Are there any tips because I am getting very frustrated.
Will the motor part be the same on a 2008 Passat 2.0T?
Thank you man!
