Bypass valve/air recirculation flap actuator
The dealer told her that they need to replace this part for a cost of $2300+.
My son in law has a Haynes manual with some instructions on replacement. Looks like this is something I can do. The replacement part can be purchased on E-Bay for less than $200.
Does anyone have a link to on line instructions?
Thanks in advance,
Don

Well, thanks for your info. from your subtle response I take it you are offended that I asked in a forum one off from what I should have. You are the only one that responded, but with the manor that you responded I think that you just want to post negative instead of positive. If that is the case, you can pound sand!

WTF was that all about? How did I even sound remotely offended? Just because I didn't sugarcoat a response that didn't need any? I stated the facts, your car is a W203, you're in the wrong forum hence you wouldn't get the help you needed. Stop being a overly-sensitive moron

Well thanks again. It is not my car it is my daughters. Is a W203 that much different than a 204? I am just looking for info on the issue. You are the one that made it sounded like I was in the wrong because I was in the wrong forum instead of offering advice. I am just looking for some help here. Thanks anyways.

As for your car's issue, if your son in law has a manual with some instructions on how to replace the part then you've pretty much solved your own issue. Even if it's not complete, if you have some mechanical know how and have worked on cars before, then you can fill in the missing blanks the manual potentially does not have. Good luck.
BTW, here are some google results you could have gotten also on your own.

Yes, a W203 can be substantially different from a W204 which is partially why we have separate forums so in a sense you are in the wrong. However that wasn't even close to my intention when I replied to your thread, I saw that no one was really posting and thought it'd help YOU to know that being in the wrong forum will hugely impact the help you're seeking. Take responsibility for your own actions man jeez. You read too much into my post and got p*ssy hurt for no reason.

I am sorry if I sounded short handed, as I did not mean to initially. My SIL is going to order the part and I will attempt to replace it with the info we have.
Please accept,
Don

I'm sorry the links provided no useful information as I suspect for W203's they made C230 with and without a compressor? If that is the case then you may have quite a long search ahead of you. Good luck with your project and I hope it all works out.
