Hey Guys,

When my climate control changes from face to feet (between some modes) I hear clicking and clunking noises. I figure the servo gears are jumping because some flap/duct has come loose. Maybe even some foam/rumbber seal jamming in there.

Does anyone know if this unit can be pulled apart for me to look at and repair or is it a sealed unit that has to be replaced. I figure the whole dash has to be pulled apart? Any ideas or comments welcome.

Cheers

my car does the same thing. from what i've read in a previous post somewhere it has something to do with the contact points on the vent flaps. because the cars are fairly old the motor doesn't receive a signal to stop trying to move the vent flap. you'd probably have to pull the whole dash out to try and fix it. i find if you leave it blowing towards your face and dont change between the two settings it doesn't make too much noise.

Yep that's right, if I leave it fixed in any mode (usually face + feet) it's fine. It's only if you leave the CCtrl off then it cycles through on startup. If it's just contact points then it may be an easy fix as long as I can get to them easily. I want to sell this car someday so it has to all be 100% working. It's the only thing on my car not working properly.

I've heard a simliar buzzing from mine, I also get a puff of hot air if i gun it sometimes. Most noticible on the freeway. Anyone get that too? I reckon its gotta be either the air mix flap or the heater tap/controller thats built into the heater core on my car.

    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
