Blower Motor Resistor Block Replacement

[MclouisMerc54]

2004 Sprinter 316Cdi I need to replace the Blower Motor Resistor Block as Fan only runs on full speed. Anyone bought aftermarket replacement or do I stick with MB original part any recommendations

if you know the original manufacturer could go with them for the resistor pack.
Don’t bother with patten parts.
MB original would be my first choice

Thanks for you input, my thoughts exactly I will stick with MB parts I have sourced one from Midland Truck & Van just waiting for them to get back to me.

Well MB original part fitted no no problem, Now only used the the vehicle for 600 miles since. Fan Now only runs on setting 4 full speed so same problem as before any ideas anybody I assume that resister has failed.

Sorry about delay in replying, All is now good, I Had Covid-19 so did not get around to sorting problem out. The New Resistor jumped out of the housing after a very rough ride over country roads. Photo 2 is the old Resistor
Many thanks for your help
