I replaced the same stuff on my 211 wagon. It wasn’t too hard other than the contortions to get under the dash and get at the screws. I think maybe the controller was ok but the blower was inop. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jan 8, 2022, at 7:52 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > >

Replaced today, and I have heat again. Of course it would happen on the coldest days of the winter so far. And though it was a little warmer today, it started raining about halfway through the job. Always the way it goes it seems. I replaced both the blower motor and the control board. Looking

Well I have the parts ordered. $285 from FCP Euro for a new blower, new "resistor pack" (it's actually a more sophisticated electronic speed control, recommended to replace while you have the fan out) and a new cabin air filter. Went with Mahle Behr brands so it was a bit more expensive than it

We used to run a quart of oil in 5 gallons of gas in 2 stroke boat motors. I guess oil has become much better as we now run those old motors on 50:1. I wonder if you can do that with an old Saab? Randy On 04/01/2022 3:00 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: Those Saabs were something

Those Saabs were something else. 7 gallons of gas per liter (quart) of oil. What a joke. On Tue, Jan 4, 2022 at 2:29 PM dan penoff.com via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > That was Saabs. > > -D > > Sent from my iPad > > > On Jan 4, 2022, at 12:25 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes < >
