Hi all - I'm new to this forum & I'm pleased to be here!
I'd like to make the community aware of a new improved solution of heater motor linkage which I have spent some time developing. It's now finalised and I'm hoping it might help some of the good folk here.
This problem has been discussed on the forum before and there are existing solutions available. The symptoms are that your heating is stuck at a temperature and wont change. If this has happened to you then you probably already know VW don't sell a decent version on its own so a remanufactured one is the only cost effective solution.
FIRST AND FOREMOST - I mean absolutely no disrespect to the existing solutions - they have done a great job helping out the community. But I have a particular set of skills which I've acquired over a long career and I have used them to come up with what I hope you will agree is a high quality product.
I'm a long serving mechanical design engineer & have been designing in the automotive industry 17+ years for some prestigious OEMs here in the UK. Recently I have moved into a senior structural simulation role. Designing is my passion and its what I spend my spare time doing too. I've recently started listing some of my designs on eBay.
Every aspect of this design has been carefully considered. There are no shortcuts and no weaknesses in the design or manufacture. I would love to bore you all with the technical details! But instead I'll leave the eBay listing below which gives you all that exciting info should you want to read it.
I'd like to hear your thoughts
