aircon blower faulty

[clelly]

Hi,
I posted a thread earlier explaining my c200 (w 2000)had a faulty aircon blower.I recieved good advice from jberks and daveenty who suggested that it may be the regulator which has gone.Ive been able to source a new regulator in euro car parts priced £80 + vat.
What is involved in this job?Do you access the regulator by stripping the dash?The reason I ask is I have a friend who is good with all things mechanical and it would be handy for me to have him do it.

I do not know if your car is a 202 or 203 but if you go here and use your VIN first 6 numbers then go to heating, its all there.

I've only done an E class. Very easy job on that - took me 20 mins. Hopefully the C won't be much different.

On the CLK (W208) it's under the passenger side dash (RHD car) and, as jberks says, a relatively easy job.
Can't really see it being moved on model to model....but stranger things have happened
Oh...and nothing should need re-setting afterwards system wise

Same as the E then. Sounds like yours will be the same too.
Tell your friend, remove dash under tray (passenger side)
look up and you'll see a plug (3 wires) going into the square fan housing. remove the plug and then the screws from the base of the housing (8 of them from memory) and remove the bottom cover. The regulator is the block that the plug went into. 1-2 screws and drop the regulator. Remove the spade connectors (that go to the fan) from the regulator and remove the regulator from the car.
Put the new one back in and reassemble - hopefully all is well.

If it's a W202, this should help ;http://mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=5482.

Check your VIN No. WDB 202 or WDB 203.

As above but the W202 was the old 'square' C class (went out of production around 2001) and the current shell is the W203.
