prusaprinters

<p>v2 Update 6/18/2022</p><p>Angled the adapter 30° counterclockwise, added flange for the hose to butt up against, made the connector end bow out slightly to improve the seal between the hose and connector.</p><p>___</p><p>If you want to retrofit the glove box air vent in your MK4 Volkswagen Golf/Jetta, the easiest and cheapest way is to pull the parts from a B5 Passat. The only issue is that the Passat HVAC box has mounting tabs which aren't present on the Golf/Jetta.</p><p>This 3D printable adapter modifies 3B1820701 to replicate 1J0816355 which came standard on Skoda variants. The connector is designed to interface with the Passat air hose.</p><p>Print both halves and glue together with plastic glue. Then glue the assembly to the back of the glove box valve.</p><p>You'll need to drill a hole in the HVAC box after the AC condenser, but before the blend doors to ensure only cold air in pumped into the glove box. For reference, the Passat HVAC box has the hole drilled into the top of the box.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Required parts:</p><p>3B1816311 - Air hose</p><p>3B0816355 - Glove box valve</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Loctite Plastic Bonder Glue:</p><p>https://www.homedepot.com/p/100371829</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Reference Part Numbers:</p><p>3B1820701 - Air vent</p><p>1J0816355 - Glove box valve w/connector (not used)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can find source files on my github as well:<br><a href="https://github.com/XDleader555/cad_models/tree/main/for_vw_mkiv_-_glove_box_air_valve_adapter">https://github.com/XDleader555/cad_models/tree/main/for_vw_mkiv_-_glove_box_air_valve_adapter</a></p>
