X8R AIR VENT ACTUATOR MOTOR IMPROVED COG GEAR FIX C2Z31321 COMPATIBLE WITH JAGUAR XF X250 2008-2015, PART # X8R17 / X8R0017

X8R Air Vent Actuator Motor Improved Cog Gear fix C2Z31321 Compatible with Jaguar XF X250 2008-2015, Part # X8R17 / X8R0017 ***** Part # X8R17 / X8R0017. Brand: X8R. *** SYMPTOMS OF FAULT: Air vents not rotating upon startup, air vents jamming, not opening / closing via buttons on the screen. THE FAULT: The air vents failing to rotate upon startup, caused by an inferior plastic cog inside the motor. Unfortunately the cog which mates the rotating mechanism in the air vents to the motor is made of weak nylon and has a poor structural design, this cog can snap which causes the rotating mechanism to fail. The cog has a large cut-out, to visually inspect if it is mated correctly. However this cut-out provides structural weakness and often snaps here. The cog also has a thin and weak stopper which breaks and is the most common reason for failure. THE SOLUTION: Install the X8R stepper cog to provide a life time fix for this common issue. Our cog also has two fins incorporated into the design to increase the rotating surface. Not 3D printed. We have seen 3D printed versions of this gear fail prematurely. We have invested in injection moulding this part to make it the most durable gear in the market. We have dramatically reduced the large cut-out window from a 30mm window to a 3.5mm circular cut-out which is large enough to easily locate into the mating surface and compact enough to not create structural weakness. The X8R cog also has the stopper width increased from 2mm to 2.7mm to prevent damage. VEHICLES AFFECTED: Jaguar XF 2008-2015, all models affected. OEM part number: C2Z31321. This cog is the same for all four air vents on the dashboard. YOU WILL RECEIVE: 1 x Improved design Jaguar XF air vent cog.
