Actuator diagnosis for troubleshooting: Malfunction of left-side climate control

Hello everyone,

In my Golf Sportsvan (year of manufacture 2016), which I bought in early December 2022, I noticed today that when the air conditioning is turned on full, very warm air is blowing out of the vents on the dashboard on the driver's side.

I suspect that a servo motor for a ventilation flap is defective.
Therefore, I would like to verify/document this using an actuator diagnostic test via VCDS.

I had previously attempted this, but I encountered spontaneous difficulties in selecting or interpreting the correct measurements.

Can anyone help me with that? Which values from which actuator do I need to check?

Thank you all!

Volker.

Here are the vehicle specifications:
Vehicle type: AU-VW37 (5Q0)
Vehicle Identification Number: WVWZZZAUZGW56XXXX

Hi.

It would be interesting to know which types of actuators VCDS offers for control. Vehicle data is not helpful; instead, a car scan and a wiring diagram for the vehicle are needed.

Best regards, Rainer.

Hello Rainer,

Thank you very much for your feedback!
I've attached a few screenshots. It also includes a recording of the diagnostic data for the left temperature control valve.

To me, it looks like this is working correctly. Could the problem described be a temporary glitch?

Here's the Autoscan result:

Well, "Temperature flap control motor, left/right" sounds very promising.
