“Yes” just replaced mine on my merc estate w212 worked straight away and I didn’t replace the resistor or the regulator , thanks for the video saved me god knows how much on a garage bill 👍

[@mrtinthewebuk]

As with others. This was so very helpful. You are a mega-star. Note to anybody doing this on a right-hand drive car. When removing the two pink connectors (about 5:40 on this vid) you have to remove both parts before disconnecting as the press release to disconnect them is on top. Otherwise, it's spot on. Took a moment to change the cabin filter whilst I was in there too.

[@jphillips9243]

Do they just pull off? Attempting this now (after checking fuse and resistor) but the electrical connector seems stiff to pull and I took a pause before snapping anything.

[@mrtinthewebuk]

@@jphillips9243 sorry missed this. Hope you got it sorted?

[@jphillips9243]

@bondsswollenballs doing it today actually. It appears with mine I need to take the Glovebox off aswell as the motor won't turn enough to unhouse it with the glove box fitted.

[@fuffoon]

Mine was intermittently stopping. Mercedes quoted 1060 euros to change fan and regulator. I cleaned and tightened the speed control contacts to the regulator. Its working well now. The best replacement I saw was a Stark. 260 euros (500 list price) on sale days with correct connector, powerful and a very close copy to the original. There are cheaper but Stark is a very good non-oem piece. The cheaper ones need the connectors changed and many are low wattage with feeble output. The aftermarket regulators are 150 euros max. OEM 540 with tax.

Im having trouble twisting out the actual motor

[@paulatwal9976]

There’s a green marker on the tab under the motor you need to insert a small flat head in that slot and that will release the motor from the housing

[@yuzd]

Trying to do this as well… I had my finger on a tab, twisted it but still the motor won’t come out.

Hey thanks for this amazing tutorial! I just bought my new blower motor but I have a problem there is 2 types of connectors. 2 round pins and like yours. I need connection like yours but I bought the one with 2 round pin... Do you know if there is something to do like convertion or I must exchange?

[@MB212]

Don’t think this particular part should affect it. Not really sure what’s the problem are sorry. Best would be first to do a search with OBD reader and check.

One question, I also have bad noise but is it way to just repare blower motor on some way or buying new is only option(sorry for bad english)

[@MB212]

You could repair it have not try that method, but got some comment saying it could be lubricate and some other say it’s possible to open it someway and fix. May try later to repair the old unit and video it but don’t have time right now.

[@orlandocoats7481]

Where is the blower motor resistor located?

[@ramizavtoelektrik9727]

video super

[@dzitiatri]

Hi ! I am planing to order this from autodoc. Does it vibrate or is slower than original blower fan ? as I bought NISSENS and it's a crap, it is slower and whines and vibrates... Hope you will answer !

[@MB212]

I had no problem with this blower working really good! I also bought nissens for my new 212 and is was terrible had to send it back.

[@dzitiatri]

@@MB212 thanks! I am taking a shoot. They look like repacked/made in poland. So hope they wont vibrate. Also next guaranteed option is MAHLE/BEHR which is 3 time more expensive . So worth a shoot

[@dzitiatri]

@@MB212 just installed THERMOTEC for 55 euros. It works perfect and doesnt vibrate or whine. I am more than happy. I will throw NISSENS to trash which costed even more about 80euro. Glad I watched your video it really help me decide. Best luck to you and Sweden!

[@AndrzejKulczewicz]

Nice, thanks. It would be only better to fold back the carpet before removing / installing of the plastic cover under the glove box. Easier to operate there then (1:11, 6:10)

[@MB212]

Thanks for the tip! I would do it next time I have to fix something under there.

Forgot the mention that in video. It got bad did noisy sound so needed to be repaired or replaced 👍

@@MB212 ok, thank you. Mine sounds normal (I have a 2010 e350). So I guess I don’t need to replace it as part of any preventative maintenance since it sounds normal still.

[@hotpotato4027]

Great video, probably the best I came across, very useful thank you. My fan completely packed up, all lights & electrics on dashboard control unit working fine so I checked fuses best I can all seemed ok apart from one blown which I changed. I’m not sure if it was relevant to fan though. Anyway, I bought a new blower unit and with some trouble got it released, tried brute force twisting it off and failed but hard to describe I used easy screwdriver head leverage where your hand is here 5:11 at a point between part of the blower case and another solid point to twist the unit, easy Peasy🤷‍♂️ However new one is not working?🤔 can you give me your info on where the relevant fuse is for the blower, I will look through all again in the meantime, but have you any other suggestions as to what could be the problem, thanks.

Thanks! Check the prefuse box is located where the main battery is. Se pic instagram.com/p/CmjFYOjK2cb/?igsh=cWRudGlnNTNxa2l3 www.benzworld.org/attachments/f-prefuse-pdf.2332042/

I couldn't remove the blower. Tried to turn it, but no way. Sits still and doesn't move. Is there any trick?

[@MB212]

3:14 if you missed that part where I put the flat screwdriver in to flip the clip up so is was free to rotate. But first time it could sit really hard, both hands in and twist it. I had to redo the twist shot because I had to use both hands to remove it first time and was not available to video that clearly.

Ok dude, now I see this move. I haven't noticed it before. Will try again then. Thanks!

My heat was working on and off sometimes heat would come out sometimes it wouldn’t, this weekend in NJ it was 97 degrees, now the A/C nothing would blow out. I’m hoping it’s just the blower. I’m thinking it is. I’ve saved so much money just watching KZbin. I changed my serpentine belt, tension pulley , hub bearing myself. Easily would be 5k from a Mercedes dealer
