Andre,
I see the different part #'s for LHD & RHD. I would think that connecting arm you are looking for may have fallen down into the center section. You may need to access the center console just forward of where the OBD plugs in. When reinstalling the "button" on mine, I dropped it and that is where it went. I am assuming the evaporator box has never been out. This actuator sticks out and could get caught on something during the reinstall. If you can't find the arm you may want to try a salvage yard to see if they have one. That would really suck, having to take the whole piece (part 41) out and replacing with a new one. Good luck.

Thanks again for the advice, at least you are confirming to me that there is a connection to those flaps from the vacuum actuator, if I cant locate the arm either in my car or at a breakers I may be able to fix something up. Looks like I am in for the complete weekend on this one, will let you know how I get on.

Andre, I have just come across the exact same problem in my '95 UK C2 with AC. There is no linkage between the actuator and the two flaps. Did you manage to track down the correct part? I believe my car had extensive work done to its A/C system before I bought it so I'm guessing it was misplaced then. I'm going to take the centre console side panels off just in case it's slipped down there somewhere.
Thanks
Stuart

I took the centre console out but the part wasn't there. I managed to source the linkage from a salvage yard and what a joy it was to fit!!! :-( Removing the CCU and radio is a must. The only thing I'm missing now is the black plastic rivet/button that connects the vacuum actuator's arm to the black plastic lever which in turn moves the metal mechanism to open/close the two internal air flaps. I've used a cable tie for now and it works ok but I would like to source the correct part. It doesn't seem to be in PET so I may have to try another scrappy.
