Passat B8 replacement of the air supply motor 5Q0907511A

Hello,
Someone had experience with the replacement of the 5Q0907511A front air distribution valve in Volkswagen Passat B8 2015.
Is it necessary to disassemble the board or can you get to the side?

vcds error:
328964 - Motor for Front Air Distribution Flap
B1091 71 [008] - Actuator stuck
Intermittent - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear

Official manuals says to remove dashboard, but lazy as I am I did it without.

Remove cluster and some lower air ducts.
Good lights and mirror is Your friend. You need some very small tools though. If I remember tx10 and 5.5mm.

But You need these mini version, regular ratchets are too big.
A 5.5mm spanner doesn't hurt either.

What about the defrost flap, remove dashboard?

Most likely.

Check if it is accesible without.
If not...then yes..

Not a big suprise.
