Best Diagnostic tool to have for a 1997 EVC

Yves Desilets
 

Hi,

I've bought the VCDS-Lite software from Ross-Tech and I'm not very satisfied with its performances. In fact, my 'third-party' cable is correct (kkl-409.1) and is made for a VW. When starting the program, it has the correct port (#3) and can detect almost 13 modules when doing a 'Full Scan'. However, only 4 modules have got results and no other modules were detected. Also, when I'm doing a 'select' option and try to go to 'Instruments', for example, I received a message like 'No response from the controller'. I'm getting tired of this. I would like to be able to do some basic coding, adaptations and code faults. My transmission mechanic was able to 'realign and set' my throttle body and EGR valve with its Apollo D8 program. So, what's the heck ? Is it that the VCDS-Lite software is locked on certain actions ? What other product could I have to diagnose my '97EVC wihtout having to break the bank ? Thanks.

Re: Replace AC/Heater control module

 

Hi Rhodney - I just did this same repair on my 1999 EVC. Here is a link to the overseas source.? Assuming they are still good, you'll need to reuse the upper (aft heater) white piece and the lower (AC controls) part. But it is very doable as they are attached to the main body with screws.? The replacement part is not of the same quality of the original, but at should last for the life of my vehicle.?
Let me know if you need any info.? After years of repairing the cracked plastic, I was happy to find a source for a new unit.?

In the first picture, where the line is that has that small, green cap.? There's supposed to be a vacuum hose connected to that.

Also,? in the event you don't know, you've got the wrong coolant in your system.??

Re: Replace AC/Heater control module

 

I had one cable break free from the flimsy housing on the back, and after dissasembly and removing the unit i decided to just pull that cable out from behind the dash to use it. Looks like an old-school choke now, but easier than finding replacement?and reinstalling what looks like a weak part. The tab that those cables live in is pretty small and under a lot of pressure. Folks advised to not switch the direction of air flow while the fan is on...makes it easier on the housing. Just my .02

Thanks Reeds! I'll give them a call.

And to the Group a request for a good youtube link for reinstalling this control unit. I got it out easily because two of the cables were broken loose from the unit (which was the original problem) but reattaching cables and getting unit back in place seems challenging. Again Thanks for any help on this. Rhodney

Re: Replace AC/Heater control module

 

Thanks Sam... I did Google by part number of course and VW Parts Vortex website indicated they had this part. I called them 888-667-8938 (the number is actually Burlington VW) and they said the part was no longer available. Did you find this part some time ago. Another source said they think VW quit making this in 2019.
Again thanks for the reply. Rhodney

Hello All... I need to replace the AC/Heater control on my 1997 EVC. Part # VW 7D1 820 045 A. I've looked a bit online but have been unable to find a source that actually has the part. Anyone have a suggestion on how to find one of these? Thanks! ?Rhodney

For the coolant, I know it’s supposed to be ‘orange’ color but I Always use a commercial product instead of the real VW one and never had trouble with that !!

Hi,

I noticed that a small tube in the engine bay of my '97EVC was not connected. I'm including some photos of that tube and where it's located and coming from. I'd like to know if this must be connected somewhere or is it supposed to stay loose ? Thanks.

Hi John,

?

Thanks for the photo but are you sure that this small tube goes there ? Can you resend another photo showing that area that you indicated with an ‘arrow’ ? It’s a very small black tube and not long (about a foot long) !!! I had a mechanic change my timing chain last year and I suspect that he didn’t reconnect all the things correctly....
