Removing heater blower unit from a 190E sedan
I am interested in finding out info on how hard it is to remove an replace the heater blower unit from my 1988ish 190E sedan. I am pretty handy with the tools but want to know how much of a specialistjob it is and if it requires any special tools.
I have already replaced the switching unit and that temporarily fixed the problem. The unit then just packed up and it's getting pretty cold at the moment without it, not to mention a little dangerous having to demist the windscreen manually.
Any info or hints would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Failure mode for blower motor 300cd
My cars blower was erratic (sometimes it would operate on high, sometimes it would operate on only medium, sometimes it would barely blow) and I thought that either my switch was malfunctioning or the fan motor was going out. It seemed that it might be the motor since even the defrost manual high speed setting was unpredictable. As of yesterday it has stopped all together. Is this the normal failure mode for fan motor or switch?

1983 TD broken material under front carpets?
After pulling up the front carpet pads up on my 1983 TD wagon, I found a layer of fractured/broken material between the carpet and the metal of the lower firewall. Outer material is hard and the inner layer is a black insulation/foam. I suppose since it's all broken and falling apart I have no choice but to remove it....I'm just wondering if this is normal on the TD, since I know my 240D has nothing like it, and what (if anything) it means that it has all broken apart?
Thanks!

82, 240d flex coupler
I was checking out the alert section of this fantastic web site and one of the alerts was on the flex couplers on the older high mileage cars. A week later mine went. I should of inspected them imediatly and saved some head aches. Luckily I do have a parts car which is a 1981 and the drive line appears to be in good shape. I have ordered new flex plates, the center bearing and associated rubber parts. Anything special I should look for when replacing the drive line. I'll let you know how it goes and what all the calateral damage is. Moral to the story read the alerts and act quickly.

1981 240d oil burning
First off... Thanks so much for the easy to follow manual on changing valve guide seals. I finished that good little job about a week ago. I am trying to reduce oil consumption in my 240d. Much to my dismay, the old seals seemed to (to me) be in good condition. I have not noticed a reduction in oil use. My benz has 211,000 on the odo. What should be the next step in trying to kill this tapeworm? I am burning about 2 u.s. quarts per 300 miles. Car starts well and runs like a dream... Does not lose power going up hills and will easily cruise at 75 on the highway. I am perplexed.

1987 300TDT wagon rear squeak
I just bought a 1987 300TDT wagon. 207k Rear suspension makes a sqeaking sound when I push down on the rear bumper. No leaks on the ground from the hydrolic suspension. Some oil weaping on the rear shocks. Any ideas? lube something?
Also, does this 6 diesel need a valve adjustment like the 123?
