The square hole is perfect in the picture you've posted. It seems to be a picture taken from one of my videos. :evil:
But the answer to your question is ... you may use Q-Bond to fix it. ;)
Here is a guide to remove the heater fan motor assembly. It is pretty easy to access it. If the video doesn't play here, you may follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgZE0eM65iY
Try to connect another battery to the alternator or to the battery already installed (by using an extension tool). The only way is from under the car. Maybe next time you should think about installing an emergency manual realease kit like this...
Maybe you should check the wires that were rerouted. It seems that the flap will not completely open because the wires will interfere. Also, check whether the wires are being crushed everytime the flap is open or not. At some point, they can be cut or may cause a short circuit.
later :p ... now the video seems to work fine.
Here's a new video that shows more details about removing the screws of the recirculation flap motor. Please, watch the video and don't forget to raise the volume! :D If the video doesn't play here, you may follow this direct link...
Oh geez :cry: Should there exist another way! Maybe you should use a telescopic flexible magnetic pick up tool.
It costs £7.00 on the following site: http://www.maplin.co.uk/6-led-flexible-magnetic-pick-up-tool-513259
£125.27+ VAT? They are ripping off consumers :S On ebay an used actuator costs £30 or less! :clap:
If someone else tries to replace the actuator, I strongly recommend to use a 6mm angle socket wrench. It makes it easy to turn the screw. So that, your hands will thank you. :cool:
You don't need to take it to a garage. You may replace the blower by yourself. If you need some tips to remove/refit the blower, you are referred to see the following video.

Hi H182,
Sorry, but I really don't know where the problem is. Maybe you may start checking whether the actuator under the cowl cover is working properly or not.
Hi morgam23,
I know exactly what you're going through! I also have big hands :banghead: But it is not a big deal! Patience is the keyword! I received an used actuator as a gift from a buddy. :clap: So I don't know its price.
After removing the blower assembly, insert your hand into the hole where the fan was placed
(see the video at 2:27). Use your fingers to find out where the bottom screw is and to guide the
screwdriver to the screw.
These procedures should be similar on a 2002 clio. I think that the actuator is the same although its 2-wire connector is different. If I remember correctly, the blower assembly is attached by 3 or 4 screws instead of 2.
Hi everyone,
Just a little contribution to the forum. This video shows how to replace the recirculation door actuator on a Renault Clio 2. If the video doesn't play here, you may follow this direct link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw40iYobPnM
