Did a VCDS scan today and my climate control is 5K0 907 044 EC, which appears to be superseded by 5K0 907 044 GM. I am not any closer to finding out which of the 3AA units that will fit, but I will opt for the BD version since this is the oldest of the three and most likely candidate to get along with the rest of the electronics in my car.
Climatronic unit swap
Hi,
My Passat is an early B7 (European) with the 2nd generation climatronic control unit and I would like to upgrade this to the 3rd generation unit. My impression is that this is a direct swap?
I have used ETKA to narrow down the list of possible revisions I may have to: 5K0 907 044 GM or 5K0 907 044 FC. They are both listed with the PR code for my car ("9AK - Climatronic with impact pressure control free of cfc") and the description "display and control panel with cu for electronically controlled air-conditioning for veheicles with auxilliary and seat heating, for veheicles with air quality sensor". I assume "auxilliary heating" is a webasto? Anyway, I will use VCDS to get the exact revision I currently have.
Now to the problem: The new units have the prefix 3AA, the same base part number, but different revision letters. Again, using ETKA and the PR code 9AK I have narrowed it down to three candidates: 3AA 907 044 BD, 3AA 907 044 BS or 3AA 907 044 CM. How do I know which of those three that is the equivalent to my current unit?
