8/24/2019 Astra Mk4 Recirculation Flap
Vauxhall Astra - Windscreen misting problems? The 'recirculation' switch may be 'off' but has the flap operated? Are you actually getting fresh air in? Operate the recirc with blower full on, you should hear a change in tone as the flap actuates. I reckon this is where your problem lies.

I just finished doing mine 5 minutes ago.
The recirculaion door was stuck closed. Remove the torx screws inside and underneath the glove box. T Remove the cover above the gear lever/ just pry down and pull forward There is a hidden torx screw inder this cover Remove the bottom a pillar trim on passenger side / wiggle out Remove the dashboard end cover on passenger side Drop the glove box down a little, and unplug the glovebox light Pull the plastic duct off the back of the glovebox and remove the glovebox altogether Remove the heating control unit.....2 black plastic nuts unclip recirculating door motor plastic cover Observe recirculating door positon Remove recirculating motor(just clips on to heater box) I closed my recirculating door all the way With the motor plugged in and not connected to the door, I cycled the blend door button to uncirculate, waited for the motor to go all the way until stop. Installed motor on recirculate door and verified operation with the glove box out. I don't know if you have to re-calibrate door positon using vag-com, however mine is working perfectly now. MY MOTOR WASN'T DAMAGED OR THE PLASTIC GEARS APPEARED TO BE ALRIGHT THE MOTOR APPEARED TO BE JAMMED UP. THE RECIRCULATE DOOR MOVED FREELY THROUGH IT'S TRAVEL. I JUST REMOVED AND RE- INSTALLED THE MOTOR .....TIME WILL TELL IF IT'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. This job can be done in @ 1/2 hour if you know what your doing. I hope this helps.
