Good afternoon, My '72 280SEL 4.5 has a dead heater blower motor. It was set to "low" and when I started the car several months ago, electrical smoke emerged from the area above the motor that contains the filters.
My question: I know that people literally cut through the firewall to replace the blower in a 115. Is the 108 as bad, or will I be able to actually reach the fan itself through the air intakes on the cowl to see if it at least turns. I don't think I can REMOVE the motor that way, but it would be nice to see if I can at least check whether the fan is seized, maybe even put a few drops of ATF on the bearings. Here's a video (from quite a sensible man, in California, with numerous 108-oriented videos) covering the replacement of the cabin air filters under the cowl. In part of the video, he shows the insides of the cowl area. Here's the URL https://youtu.be/55U4y4KqmAE Thanks for any advice, D. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
