Post Automatic Climate Control Retrofit

Hey guys

I was wondering, have any of you done a full Automatic Climate Control Retrofit in a w202 pre-facelift with manual control (TempMatic)? I've done mine a month ago, so far everything is perfect.

Here is a pic of the whole block I had to get (not including the wires and control unit):

Thank you! It sure took me some time to finish it

I've seen a few posts before about people asking if it was possible and how hard it was or even if it was worth. If some of them find this thread, I'm glad to guide them!

Hello,
Well done! Do you remember where each vacuum hose goes to?
Where may I get the diagram showing all the vacuum elements and their respective hoses coming from the distribution model?
Thank you!

Hello P.S you uploaded your project but you didn't give any advice or any instructions on how you did it, no diagrams, no wire harnesses and the process. I would have been 100 times thankful to you if you would have done it because it would have helped me alot, anyways I sorted it out by myself on how to do it and I hope I can help some other people with my information.... First of all you need to buy the wood and the new automatic climate control, second you need to buy this part which it's callles the heater box matrix, u might find one in the scrap yard for some dollars. third you don't need to forget to take the wire connector for the vacuum distributor or how's it called, these wires go to the centre console.
