Is it possible to put oil to it ? I need help

    The direction button on these is a fully manual system.  So the problem will be one of the flaps getting stuck or one of the cables getting tight/pinched (especially if you've done any work behind the control panel recently).  Either way, you need to remove the dash fascia to see if you can find the fault visually.

    I don't for the pre-facelift unfortunately.  I'm sure there will be video guides on YouTube for it if you search on there.

    I'll have a guess that the OP just wants confirmation that a squirt of WD40 (or 3 in one oil) may sort it. In his position, I would just squirt to my hearts content!! The premise being that it's not working as it is, and you certainly won't cause more issues by lubrication. I've seen videos on how to remove a dash, it calls for much confidence, and b*lls on working with cars, neither of which I have in any abundance!

    It won't.

    It's just the dash fascia he needs to remove to start with, not the full dash.  On facelift it literally just peels off with a trim tool then the climate panel is held in with 4 torx screws.  On PFL I think the radio may need removed with radio keys first.
