Cheer mate did mine today, all done. My local Merc guy was going to charge be £50 Labour. I got the heater on sale for £25 second genuine part. Took me less than a hour 👍

I was quoted £250 by a local garage to replace the motor..after watching your video decided to tackle the job myself...used some blue-tac to hold the screws on the driver when putting it back in . Also swapped the mounting rubbers as I couldn't push the new ones on even with washing up liquid for a lubricant... all good in an hour and half for £50 Many thanks 👏👏👏👏

That really helped. My 2009's motor was squeaking. I got it out like your vid, ran it on bench and oiled the bearings, squeak gone. Back in it goes. But two things: 1. That plastic grid is very soft. A Stanley knife cut it out with no mess. 2. After undoing the two nearer plugs, the harness can be unclipped front and back and eased right out over to the RHS. No need to cut the flap to unplug 3rd plug. HTH

Cutting that brace off is the correct way to change them. Only there to aid stiffness when fitting removing the dash. If you want a challenging Mercedes’ fan motor to change try a vario one!

Don’t feel bad Alan , they say the same thing to me about my Jeep Cherokee . “ haven’t you junked that sh@t bucket yet ? “ . At least the benzy boys were considerate and gave way to a hack method . Hope you’ve no Jeep liberty’s in the UK , the whole dash must come out for a heater core exchange / evaporator core exchange . No short cut as the distribution box is mounted center of the firewall and the dash wraps completely over it with no way but to cut away the dash is one wants to really hack it away . Not desirable . All the accesses like radio and climate control panels are high up . The nice part is , the distribution box is prone to failure due to main blend door sticks and must be disassembled which entails removal of the entire box . At least the blend door servos are easy but what good is that , right ? Chrysler jeep fiat , or whoever they’ve the nerve to call themselves now graced us with a couple other models that have the same parts and the same problems . In the words of the late but great Steve Irwin ; “ bloody hell ! “ .
