    ECS Defroster flap motor (green) different to OEM

    Hey guys, I installed this servo but it opens and closes at different angles as seen on the picture below. What is going on here. If i install it, there is no way it can travel completely around due to the length of the actuating rod connected to the flap. You can see in the photo below that the motor arm is 100% clockwise in both photos and the orientation is the same however the final position is very different. They both have the same part number, and even that is a surprise as going off this (where i bought it) it should be a J revision no? https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...en/8e1820511j/

    Have I purchased the wrong one? Have they changed? How do I go about this?

    Thank you.

    Ok, so ECS has done it to me again. Audi B7 A4 All is not All. Its LHD only. The light green is RHD and the dark green is LHD. NOT ALL!

    Given that ECS posts internationally, I think it is incumbent that they specify the parts a where there is a RHD/LHD derivatives. Especially when they're the same part number.

    In the end, I prised the green actuator and swapped them from the old one to the new one. The motor itself is keyed exactly the same, so its JUST the little green actuator that is different.

    So anyone from RHD countries, buyer beware!!

    Really annoying.

    Yes, I replaced the motor, but had to swap the green actuating arm off the old one onto the new one to allow it to fit.
