Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Stepper motors for your A/C mate . When the Ign is on rest(off) the stepper motors return to their stop position. When the AC ecu gets power the stepper motors return to there postions set by the ecu, and they click click click till they rest at their position.
    Does this make sense???
