If you have an early 87, there's two round pods that control floor
heat, one for each side. The early style is a bit of a PITA to replace
because of the friction-fit press washers. The later style uses a
single flat rectangular pod to operate both flaps, and it's a lot
easier to replace. FWIW, I w

Sorry about that Ralph! I knew about the pod being bad and thought it was a
bear to do so didn't bother with it. If I'd known I wouldn't have had cold

Is there anything tricky about removing the console and ACC cover.
If it's anything like the 126, there are a number of now-brittle
plastic clips in and on the console and its guts. Be careful to
find and release them and you'll be OK.

I didn't have any need to use it when I did my TE. I did on my
sister's Volvo though, maybe I got lucky.

control panel as well. Nowhere near as hard as taking out the dash!

Ralph,
Fortunately these pods are among the easier ones to replace. Early
87's have two pods (a bit of a PITA to R&R because of the pressed on
lock washers) and early models have a single pod which unclips easily.
They're accessible after removing the climate control unit.

Can anyone give me an idea where the floor heat vacuum pod lives under the dash
of a 124? I've got heat out the side vents and defroster but nothing going to
the floor. I'm assuming that the pod for the heat flaps to the floor is bad.
Can I get to this without removing the dash. I've fixed a 123
