Dashboard Specification Information

This part is specifically associated with:

PR Code 4N2 – Standard Dashboard

This is important because Transporters fitted with the comfort dashboard, PR code 4N3, use a different right-hand vent assembly such as 7H5819204A. (OEM Wolf)

Therefore, this part should not be advertised as fitting every T5 dashboard without checking the dashboard type.

Technical Information

The right outer dashboard air vent forms part of the vehicle’s HVAC air-distribution system.

Its main functions include:

* Directing heated or cooled air into the cabin

* Allowing airflow direction to be adjusted

* Directing air toward the driver-side window area on UK RHD vehicles

* Helping demist the side glass

* Controlling airflow from the outer dashboard duct

* Providing the correct factory dashboard appearance

The vent contains adjustable internal vanes which allow the occupant to alter airflow direction.

HVAC / Ventilation System Information

The vent works together with components including:

* Heater box

* Blower motor

* Heater matrix

* Air-conditioning evaporator where fitted

* Dashboard air ducts

* Heater / climate control panel

* Air distribution flaps

* Flap actuators where applicable

The vent itself is a mechanical air-distribution component and does not generate airflow.

Common Reasons for Replacement

Replacement may be required if:

* Vent fins are broken

* Adjustment mechanism is damaged

* Vent will not stay in position

* Surround is cracked

* Mounting tabs are broken

* Vent has become loose in the dashboard

* Surface is heavily scratched

* Original vent is missing

* Previous dashboard removal damaged the unit

Important Diagnostic Information

If there is weak or no airflow from the vent, the vent itself may not be the cause.

Also inspect:

* Blower motor

* Cabin / pollen filter

* Heater box

* Air distribution flap

* Dashboard ducting

* Climate control system

* Flap actuators

A damaged vent normally affects airflow direction or cosmetic appearance, rather than the actual amount of air produced by the blower.

Installation

Typical installation may involve:

1. Carefully releasing the original vent from the dashboard.

2. Checking surrounding trim and mounting tabs.

3. Disconnecting or separating the air duct if required.

4. Aligning the replacement vent correctly.

5. Pressing it securely into the dashboard.

6. Checking that all fins move freely.

7. Confirming that the vent sits flush with surrounding trim.

Care should be taken with older dashboard plastic because retaining tabs can become brittle with age.

Programming / Coding

No programming or coding is required.

This is a purely mechanical dashboard ventilation component.

Important Compatibility Note

Before ordering, please compare:

* OE number 7H1819204E

* Right outer dashboard position

* PR code 4N2 – standard dashboard

* Vent shape

* Mounting tabs

* Air-duct connection

* Adjustment-fin design

* Colour / trim finish

* Your original vent against the listing photographs

* VIN / PR codes where possible

Do not confuse this part with:

* 7H1819203E – left-side standard-dashboard vent

* 7H5819204A – right-side comfort-dashboard vent

VW’s catalogue clearly distinguishes 7H1819204E as the right vent for the 4N2 standard dashboard. (OEM Wolf)

Some aftermarket/used-parts references also cross-reference later numbers such as 7E0819204E / 7E0819204H, but these should only be treated as interchangeable after checking the physical design and vehicle specification. (Allegro)

Condition

Genuine used Volkswagen part.

As a used interior trim component, it may show normal signs of age and previous use including:

* Light scratches

* Surface marks

* Minor scuffs

* Dust

* General cosmetic wear

Please inspect all listing photographs carefully for the exact colour, fin condition and mounting tabs.
