Climate Control Faults in Vag Com

[chill14]

I have been playing with Vag Com and found I have these faults on these Control Modules

08 - AutoHVAC

00710 - defroster flap positioning motor (v107)
000 - - intermittent
01274 - air flow flap positioning motor (v71)
000 - - intermittent

09 Central Electrics
01598 - Drive Battery Voltage
07-10 - Signal too Low - Intermittent

Now the latter I suspect is due to the battery dying as when we had a couple of cooler mornings the other week, (5 degs C) the car coughed into live rather than its usual lively self. So I know that I need to get that done. Battery has never been off the car and the car is used on the motorway 40+ miles every other day so short journeys is not a issue.

The first ones I am concerned about as I had them cleared at E38 and they have reappeared. Is it a case that I need to have a look at these or could it be related to the battery fault? Only prior to starting engine most days and while I was performing test today, all you could hear were the climate control motors in the passenger footwell whirring away.

Car is a Mk4 ibiza 1.9 TDi SE 2003 (03)

I don't think the 1st ones are related to the bettery dying. There are servos under there that open and shut the flow of air etc.

It sounds like there is a loose connection or the motors aren't closing the flaps properly or hitting the "Closed" Switch, as confirmation.....something like that.

Have a check of the connectors and the motor as these could be faulty or the motor could be blocked or obstucted.

Oh right. I'll go and check it out now and see whats happening.

Only reason that I thought it could be related was due to this:

There was no outcome to this and the thread is so old that its been archived so I didn't want to revive it.

did u manage to fix your 01274-air flow flap positioning motor (v71)
if so how did u manage it as i thinnk i have the same problem my climate control is only blowing out cold air and i think that was the code tht came up thanks

No sure yet. I changed the battery on the car Tuesday and when I ran Vag com to clear any remaining faults I only had this showing on the system.
00710 - defroster flap positioning motor (v107)
000 - - intermittent

I did have a physical look for connectors on the unit in passenger foot well and found a loose one so I pushed this home firmly.

I'll run Vagcom again at weekend and check the others which are located in driver footwell according the workshop manual I have and I'll let you know.
