So, as I was saying, a friend of mine has a mk6 climatronic for sale.
He is selling the climate control, the air quality sensor, the frame and some spare connectors for 62 GBP (didn't really look around for prices but this seems to be a great deal):
The climatronic has this code:
He just went on vacation and gave me the whole lot to install and see if it all works well.
I just couldn't refuse him so I will try out the climatronic for the next weeks and it all works well I will buy it.
There are DIY topic for installing the mk6 climatronic (the most important being
this one, but not on this forum (or I did not find them).
One thing I've done differently is that, since I had some spare connectors, I decided to make this operation reversible and not cut any wires. I used a spare 20 pin cable and attached a new socket:
I used cable to connect the pin 16 from Connector A to pin 20 from Connector A. I left the pin 20 unplugged.
I did not install the Air Quality Sensor and I will do this at a later time (hopefully).
All works fine but I have 2 errors I have to look for and solve:
