C70 Defrost Air Distribution Flap Issue

Hey, I've got a weird issue with my 2008 Volvo C70 diesel. The defrost air distribution flap seems faulty. Only 61676 km on the clock. I'm getting an error and the heating output is way down. Could it be a bad cable or plug connection? Anyone seen this before?

A 2008 Volvo C70 owner experienced a problem with the defrost air distribution flap, resulting in reduced heating output and an error message. The issue was suspected to be due to a bad cable or plug connection. Another owner with similar past issues suggested checking the blower motor and temperature regulation. Ultimately, the problem was confirmed to be a defective cable connection to the defrost air distribution flap, which was resolved by a mechanic.

Interesting. I own a C70. Last winter I had similar heating problems. Windshield fogging was a nightmare, and the climate control was acting up! Did you check the blower motor? Maybe it’s not pushing enough air. Is the temperature regulation working at all?

Thanks! The blower motor seems okay, but I'll double-check. Do you remember if you got the same error message? And where should I check the temperature regulation?

Yeah, that error message sounds familiar. I messed with it for weeks, but it was beyond me. I'd suggest a workshop visit. They found a defective cable or plug connection to the defrost air distribution flap pretty quickly.

Thanks so much! I went to my mechanic, and the defrost air distribution flap was indeed faulty. Like you said, it was a defective cable connection. Cost me 95€ to fix.
