Re: [MBZ] Parts request for Kaleb or anyone else that has this
The Porcupine is a resistor array changing voltage to the blower motor, thus changing speed. The controller box selects input to the various resistors. No, the porcupine is the heavily finned (with circular cross-section heat-dissipation 'spines') blower speed regulator that lives in the air plenum by the blower motor. It's solid-state, and is likely just a power transistor or three. (I've never chiseled one open.) They are found in the '86+ ACCII's, the ones with the large black AUTO button and with non-discrete blower speed steps. There is no separate speed controller box, they take an output directly from the PBU, which also contains the brain. The porcupines are, sadly, not immune from failure. The controller box (full of relays) is associated with an old-style box full of dropping resistors, usually on the fender or in the air intake under the grille. It does the same job the manual switch used to do, but under automatic control. It's separate from the PBU, and from the cabin temperature regulator box. They are not failure-prone. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

I have a 1980 300D and I worked on the Climate Control with the Servo for 2 years. It seems that I'd get it set and it would would for several weeks and then it would loose its mind. I gave up and bought the digital replacement. It works every time now. Though the only thing it really does not do is open the fresh air vent.

Buried deep under the dash of a 1985 126 300SD is a mysterious box, the purpose of which, as I understand it, is to properly direct heating and cooling air flows based on instructions from the climate controller. Do you know of such a box, and if so, what is its proper name and what does a new one cost? Have you the ACC with the little translucent AUTO switch, or the big square AUTO switch? They're different. The former (older) has three main components, plus a vacuum valve block. Temperature regulator, blower speed regulator, and the pushbutton array. The latter has the three parts integrated into the pushbutton array. The problems lie 90% in the pushbutton array, at least so I've seen. To which you add all the vacuum pods, the monovalve, auxiliary water pump and AC compressor, etc. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Parts request for Kaleb or anyone else that has this
Nope, it is the circulation system, that little bypass hose on older engines (OM615/616/617, M180 etc.) that gets the first warm water to your heater, rather than having to wait until the radiator is warm and the thermostat opens. The Aux heater pump only helps to circulate water to a heater that is not substantially higher than the head of the engine. Older cars like 110/111/112/108 have the heater positioned so that the coolant circulates to the heater by the engine WP and convection. Isn't it the aux water pump that gives us heat so fast on cold days? (faster than any other car I've driven).

If it's the auxiliary water pump, you don't really need it. Unless you spend a lot of time at idle in the cold climates. Bypass it, or at least just unplug it. -- Jim -- OK Don Panic!

Re: [MBZ] Parts request for Kaleb or anyone else that has this
Isn't it the aux water pump that gives us heat so fast on cold days? (faster than any other car I've driven). No. It only speeds the waterflow through the heater core when the engine's main water pump isn't spinning fast enough to keep enough heat flowing in. When idling, that is to say. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
