Recirc / fresh air ??

[PUGOFF]

hi my D8 406 has started to make a clicking noise like a solanoid /motor is getting stuck, it used to do this about 6 months ago when i turned the recirc button off to go to fresh air it would click about 6 times stop reset and start clicking again
In the end i just left it on recirc to stop it clicking but now its doing it on recirc as well and its driving me mad
If anyone has had this problem or knows how to stop it please let me know many thanks ALAN

It is a common problem that starting to creep into the D9's now I think but most just open the damper/flap over the fan unit and disconnect the electric motor.

The plastic teeth on the motor/flap wear and start to slip.

Make sure you leave the flap 'open' to fresh outside air otherwise you'll steam up. You can view the flap position from the top by removing the pollen filter but access to the motor is from the passenger footwell.
