| A/C fan speed regulator replacement on 2000 E320 with pictures
(original post by Franasia on BW, I do not claim this to by my own work) After mentally preparing myself to repair/replace the A/C fan speed regulator, reviewing the excellent threads on the matter, I removed the blower assembly and to my amazement found out the blower/regulator is completely different to the pre MY 2000 vehicles. I was thrilled to see there was no soldering at all but merely a bolt-on/plug & play part replacement.
I proceeded to call the dealer who quoted $270 for the part. Checked some of the online resellers and ordered it from Autohaus AZ for just under $148. Very satisfied with their service.
I enclose pictures from the parts. The removal procedure has already been posted and the steps to follow do not change and start by removing the glovebox. NB: If you remove the panel below the glove box, a couple of screws and the cover to the blower from below, another couple of screws, you don't even have to remove the glove box. I did the whole deal in less than one hour. I did an exploratory disassembly and cleanup first that included checking the cabin air filters, and charcoal filters too.

Storm,
I assume you also replaced one on your pre-2000 E320? I have the problem right now with my 1998 E320, and am confused. Some people say you have to replace everything, some say use a regulator from W140. Autohaus directs me to buy everything. Can I just replace the regulator, and if so, what part # ? |

Hi,
I have a 1998 E320. I need to replace the blower motor regulator. It doesn't have a part that looks like the one posted above. Nothing is attached that looks like what is posted. Its a wire with a small black box at the end that has two screws attaching it to the motor. Is this the regulator? Or is it located somewhere else? I guess its the 210 chasis. |
