mk6 climate into 2006 mk5 gti

[K9]

I plugged the Mk6 unit in first to check it and everything seemed to work?! What do all the wire swaps allow to happen?

i guess it depends on the year of your car

Have you turned off the car and back on again? For late models the pin swap only allows the panel to remember the settings after the car being turned off.

Yes. Temperature remained the same.

Mine is early 07.

What does the pin swap do on early models? Do all pin swaps just cover the memory side of it- 16 to 20 and the other ones? Or are they for separate things?

AFAIK the early models need the flap motors in parallel as well:

Motors in parallel:
On C Connector (brown): Pin 7 connected to Pin 10 and Pin 8 connected to Pin 9

[Lyons]

Right ok, so the pin 16 to 20 is the memory side of it?

I might just install it then and use it for a while to see what happens.

What constitutes as an early model anyway?! Up to when??

[Shoduchi]

The late version only has 1 flap engine, while the early had 2. I think the early models were made till mid 2006, not sure about this AC feature.

[Lyons]

Cheers. I'll get it fitted and see what happens over the next few days.

Please can someone shed some clarity regarding the secondary wires needed
Also if the air quality sensor is wired as shown?

I have put together a diagram to help explain what I don't understand.

Eddie NL has ignored my question on here.
I also sent a PM asking to buy a wiring loom.
Totally ignored.  I thought we were meant to be helpful on here!

Thank you :)
The pictures refer to plug 'A' which pins 16 & 20 have different size connectors.
I'm almost certain I have plug 'A' sorted.

It is plugs 'B' & 'C' that I really want to know which way to go.

From your picture B,  B,  modified is the correct way

Thank you Si :)

So this looks to be correct now.
Anyone can feel free to share this, in OK :)

Anyone else getting really bad misting up after doing this mod? I have to have the aircon on all the time now even if its a nice day. Never had to before doing this mod.

I have the same issue. I don't know why. With MK5 climatronic panel no misting problems but with the new one really bad misting.

Have you checked that the air recirculation flap is not closed? Newer type circulation only has one big flap that moves over the blower to change the air flow. You can also listen to the sound when pressing recirculation to on, if the sound changes then the flap is working ok.

On mine the flap is doing what it's supposed to do, but  still the misting is bad.

I think it is what my pictures are for!!! You need to do as i did wirh the wires to override the flap!!
