The factory plastic blend door pin on VW MK4 Golf / Jetta models will become brittle over all of its years in service and may break when faced with extended duty cycles. This is a common failure point on many models of this era due to small tabs that can break, causing the blend door to no longer function.
Sadly the OEM part is no longer available, so the Engineering Team at ECS Tuning came out with a replacement that's even better than the OEM version! Made from a billet block?of 6061-T6 aluminum, our Blend Door Pin will not fail or back out like the OEM?plastic version. We designed our pin with?a 360? retention feature that creates complete interference while installing it, unlike the factory piece with 2 brittle, plastic?tabs. Once fully seated our blend door pin rotates freely and is locked securely into place without worry of any future failures.?
