[MBZ] 115 blower??

[Tom Hargrave]

I sold a Mercedes once for this problem and swore I would never own another
114 or 115 body Mercedes. Problem is, my 220D and both 240D's were the best
running diesels I've owned to date!


Thanks,

Sounds about right. I've done the job twice - once by the manual - took me
about 20 hours, and through the speaker hole the second time - took 6-8
hours. I had to glue the speaker cover frame back on to keep it from
rattling - the lip it snaps to had to be cut off to get the fan out.
