You directions were spot on and very clear. I probably saved hundreds of dollars at a dealership so thank you.

Mike, this video just made my day. I'm driving a W212 Bluetec 4Matic. 174,600 miles. Blower motor started to sound like a blown bearing. Now that I viewed your video my confidence just went strait up. Now, to buy a blower motor. Thanks,

Thanks! Clip on the old one was a pain to release, but I got it an my E350 is now once again equipped with a working fan. Having nice film of how things are supposed to work was very helpful.

Thanks for posting this video. My air/heat quit blowing so I am going to replace the blower motor. One thing I am going to do different than your video is that I am going to test and make sure the blower motor works properly before I put my glove compartment area back together. I would be highly upset if I put everything back together and then tested it and it didn't work. Thanks for the great video, you're saving tons of people a lot of time and money.

You are a frigging Saint for these videos Mike! And pretty cool you are a fellow Washingtonian. (Puyallup here)

All done thanks for taking your time to show the world how to replace it 🙏

This was the best of several videos I found for this repair. Pulling that tab and twisting the unit at the same time was a bit rough because of the limited space.

Yo Mike! Thank you for the video. I’m currently out of town, my blower cut out on me. My mechanic is 1800 miles away. Your video save me getting ripped off. I did it myself and I’m not technically savvy. Thanks bro!

Just completed the replacement per your instructions, all went smoothly! Thank you very much, just saved an easy $350 in labor!

Mike, Thanks for taking the time to make and publish this video. I have the cryptic manual pages from MB, with your video I am ready to replace the fan. Thanks again, well done

I replaced my blower motor and now my air is working again. I'm so happy! Thanks for posting the helpful video!

Just replaced mine. 23 minutes total including looking for the tools, the cable tie to replace the one I had to cut off. Super easy. Thanks Mike!

Well done! Appreciate your help, I cleaned mine up, squirted silicone lube in both shaft bearings and it’s quiet as a church...30 minute job!

Thanks a ton! Saved me from a more expensive repair!

Amazing stuff! Can't wait for more videos!

Nice job! I have to replace mine now - thanks for the easy step by step instructions!

Tanks a lot for your hint about the secret tab (4:16)! Tried to removed the blower but without a success. Now I know why. 😀

Thanks for the advice. Worked perfect for me. Thank you very much!

You did an awesome job detailing granularly the task at hands. I'm ready to go for it! Thank you.

Thank you so much man! I just replaced mine and your video was a big help!

Thanks for the details video. Helps a lot! Hope you have many more videos to help the community.

Of all of these videos on this I've seen I think yours was the best. Managed to break an electrical connection minor way but hopefully with the part I can find epoxy will fix it. I couldn't figure out why the damn thing wouldn't budge and you mentioned that tab so I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks!

Can’t believe I found this. Dealer quoted me at $650!

Super helpful, most appreciated!

Mike thanks buddy for the video, helped me change one today.

Thanks for the video. it was a great help.

I wish I had watched yours instead of somebody else's. I managed to break a little plastic piece where that wire is supposed to slide in to the mount. Thumbs up for you

Thanks for the vid...it helped!

Thanks for helping me out.

Thank you for the information....Just had service B completed and I think that something happened when they changed that cabin filter...E350 is making that same noise now....Now I know what the problem is, again thanks for the info.

I'm super stoked now after seeing this video! I got this. Thanks much.

Thank you saved me so much

Loved the video very intuitive

Thanks. I'm going to do this when it warms up .

Thank you sensei

If you are also changing the cabin air filter there are two silver metal clips on each end of the filter bottom and housing. These will be removed with a screwdriver and discarded.

Thank you

Hey! Nice vid. Can you help me with the part number of the motor and does it come with the fan balanced?

Where did you purchase your Behr blower motor from? I’m finding a large array of prices and I’m not sure who to buy from. Thanks for your input.

Thanks. The plugs into blower motor resistor btw.

Very pedagogical and straight forward 10/10

Hey, I have a 2014 E350 and the blower stopped a together but it all still turns on which is confusing. Side note, how did you get a push start, mine only starts with the car. Is there an aftermarket I can grab one?

Mike, great video. Thank you! B.U.

Perfect

Any idea why the blower motor might be really loud after replacement

Were there any screws holding the motor in?

Thanks for the video bro. I have the cricket in my AC vent. Now I know how to get him out!

I have a 2011 E350 Sedan. How can I tell what part number I need to order? Thanks

Do you have any info on diagnosis for assigning fault to the blower motor vs. regulator/resistor? My blower is starting to occasionally not work. Previously, it has been squeaking very faintly occasionally for a couple of years when very cold, a little louder when taking turns (I guess the fan acts like a gyroscope?). If I turn HVAC system off, then tap underneath the fan/resistor area, then turn the HVAC on again, the fan works again. So I'm thinking either there's some sort of relay in the regulator that's lazy (if it even has any), or the fan is binding just enough or in a position where the brushes maybe aren't making good contact. Plan is to remove the cover under the glove box, disconnect the motor plug and see if voltage to the motor is reliable and consistent (obviously changing with fan speed selected). If so, that would indicate the regulator is fine. Then I plan to apply voltage to the motor directly and see if it performs reliably. Anyway, is this a good plan to find the culprit? Sorry for the long post but trying to cover all the bases.

Thanks a heap!!

Ugh. I thought for sure this was what I needed to do for the noise. But it’s coming from the dash. I was told to look at the aspiration fan. Heard/know anything about that?

Thanks for this. They just told me to replace all that was going to be $1600 which is ridiculous. I can do it myself for less than half that.

Hey Nice video! i want to ask you? My blower motor dont work once and a While (totally dead, cant regulate) but when it work no noise at work (as it Should) is that problem maybe regulator or controlpanel? Fault code says “blowemotor malfunction” but it could be anything maybe? Please help!

Thanks for the video, since replacing my blower motor and resistance my car only blows hot air. Do you know why this could be happening?

Where can I buy the part?

Did you disconnected the battery or any electronic system to do this? Is it as easy as just unpug?

Good video, would be even better if you stated the year of your car and if it is a 4Matic or not, though I suspect the blower is the same either way. Also a link to the place where you bought yours would be awesome too.

Mine only squeaks with the heat running, not w the AC. Why is that?

So im getting this loud noise but when its out vent its also blowing on defrost outside the car. Only on high setting would this cause that

Bless you for this video.

In the US we have two choices for the Behr blower motor, one cost $300, the other $150. Did you buy the cheaper or more expensive one?

Just curious - why'd you go with the genuine MB one as opposed to straight from BEHR?

Part(s): Blower Motor: www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-hvac-blower-motor-2128200708 Cabin air filter (not required but easy accessible & under $20): www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-cabin-air-filter-2048300018a T20/T25 Torx heads can be found in many interchangeable screwdriver kits

I'm working on my 2011 E350 right now. I'm having trouble twisting the motor out. More elbow grease??

why didnt you test the fan was working when installed before you put the panel back on?

What about heat not coming out of the blower?

I’m hoping this my issue, heat was working on an off, now A/C not blowing nothing , I’m hoping it’s the blower

what year mercedes are you working on ??? I have a 2012 e350. Thanks

Okay...okay? Okay! Ok.

Squeaky noise the one that you and me are going to make Mike :) wink wink

Mine stopped completely tonight then came back on now off again 🤨😡

regulator??

Has anyone had problems with their actuator letting the air blow through the vents? I’m 115K miles on mine and the blower fan is working properly, just no air through the vents.

Si

BTW, dealer quoted me$1,065 for replacing. 👺😬🥴

Thank you
