MQB Touch Climate Retrofit

Make sure that the new unit has the same functions (AC, Seat Heating/Cooling, Clean Air). In my case it was from hardware number 5F0907044AL to 17G907044BE.

  1. Copy the coding from the old Control Unit 08(make a full backup)
    • Long coding example: 00000004200114011105000000101020
  2. Replace the old unit with the new one
  3. Code the new unit so that the Long coding is identical to the old one
    • At first glance, everything works, except A/C and Clean Air.
  4. Flaps Calibration

Press MENU and A/C at the same time until the lights start flashing.

The same can be done with basic settings:

Control Unit 08 (Air Conditioning)
Basic Settings (4)
Adapt flap end stops
[Go]
  1. Compressor First Run-In

Press Rear Window Heating and A/C at the same time until the lights start flashing. After a successful calibration, the A/C light will remain on.

The same can be done with basic settings:

Control Unit 08 (Air Conditioning)
Adaptation (10)
- Runtime for compressor run-in basic setting: 120s
- Duration of compressor run in: 60s
Basic Settings (4)
- Compressor run in, automatic start
[Go]

After restarting the ignition, everything should work including A/C and Clean Air.
