There are a lot of people that seem to have this problem with their T5 vans. The air direction control breaks when trying to turn it to the the 3 o'clock position. This is because the cable used is crap. Loads of people are saying that a solid core version of this cable is available, and quoting various part numbers.
I ordered part number: 7H2 819 837 C to replace my cable. It is red/blue and not green/blue like the old one, but it is a solid core and a little bit stiffer than the older version. Here are a few pictures of the old one and the newer one. I think the newer (solid core) cable is the same one that is used on the heater dial on the left. |

It is a bit fiddly. But VW was gunna charge 3 hours labour to do the job.
It takes about 30 minutes if you know what to do. |
