Just fixed this on my 2012 K13 (with manual temperature controls, not aircon equipped). Remove the radio air vent facia - pulls off with a little gentle persuasion. Remove and disconnect radio - 4 obvious screws and 3 electric cables - watch out as 2 retaining lugs from the radio use the lower facia cover that cover the vent and heater controls, so hold it in place as you pull out the radio. Pull off the squarish knob from the recirculating slide control (friction fit), then pull off the small facia that covers these. With a torch you’ll see how the hot/cold cable (like a bicycle brake cable) controls a white coloured lever arm - mines had slipped off the lever arms lug, so was just pushing and pulling fresh air when you turned the hot cold arm! Was able to put the circle end of the cable back over the retaining lug of the white plastic arm. Question will be how long will it last as the white lever arm is obviously get sticky!

[QUOTE="John x, post: 795667, member: 41747"] Just fixed this on my 2012 K13 (with manual temperature controls, not aircon equipped). Remove the radio air vent facia - pulls off with a little gentle persuasion. Remove and disconnect radio - 4 obvious screws and 3 electric cables - watch out as 2 retaining lugs from the radio use the lower facia cover that cover the vent and heater controls, so hold it in place as you pull out the radio. Pull off the squarish knob from the recirculating slide control (friction fit), then pull off the small facia that covers these. With a torch you’ll see how the hot/cold cable (like a bicycle brake cable) controls a white coloured lever arm - mines had slipped off the lever arms lug, so was just pushing and pulling fresh air when you turned the hot cold arm! Was able to put the circle end of the cable back over the retaining lug of the white plastic arm. Question will be how long will it last as the white lever arm is obviously get sticky! [/QUOTE]
