VW Passat - VW Climatronic problem - Dave N

Old Passat B5.5 climatronic oscilates between hot and cold air at the vents. It usually works for a little while, then alternates between blowing hot and cold. You can hear the blend motor whirring away in the footwell as the temperature changes.

I did the diagnostic with no codes showing, and it also shows the correct outside and inside temperature. Cleaned the interior temp sensor on the unit, but no cigar.

Any more things to check?

Does your diagnostic kit have the facility to reset base calibration to the servo flap motors?

I have no diagnostic kit, just the diagnostics on the unit itself - hold half a dozen buttons and scroll through. Then some more buttons thats supposed to do some sort of reset.

There may be no codes logged, but something may be working out of parameter. Do you know anyone with Vagcom/Vcds diagnostic kit?

Unfortunately not. I'll have a dig around to see if I can find someone.
