blower motor regulator
hello, I owned an european specs E320 1997 and I have problems with the blower motor resistor that is attached to the a/c blower. Some people is asking me about what kind of part I have, if it is the new or old part version. Could someone give me an advise about how can I fix this problem? the part number is 9140010179 and the chasis is w210 0651. Thanks, rafael<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

they are asking you if you have the updated regulator or the old one because mercedes required changing the blower also when they updated the regulator. you can check yourself, it takes only a few minutes. remove (unscrew) the covering which is above the passenger footrest area, the regulator will be right there can't miss it, and look at the regulator part # and compare it with the one mercedes is selling for your car, if the same than you have the updated one, if not than you still have the first one from the factory.
chances are it has been replaced previously in your 1997, so all you would have to do is buy a new regulator (~$150) and replace it yourself.
if you have the old one, than you have two choices. eithe buy the updated regulator along with the new blower (big$), or you could buy the regulator from the s-class (w140) which will work with the old blower with a little adaptation. do a little search within mbworld if that's the case, because people have done it before and is fairly easy. good luck

Blower regulator
replacement is in the diy section on benzworld.org
your parts shop should be able to tell you what regulator by getting the build date of the car on the tag in the drivers door pillar.Look at the diy first to see if you have the same blower and regulator as the usa versions.

Hi Tirona, thanks for your prompt help. I have one more question, in order to get this part, what year should be the s-class (w140) mercedes?
Once I get this part what is the little adaptation I have to make?
thanks Rafael

The modification is to retain and splice part of the W210 regulator harness onto the W140 regulator. Mercedesshop.com also has a write up on this retrofit. I think it has part numbers too.
DO check your's out first...... Blowers/heat sinks and regs were updated in the US in early or mid 98 production; reg's only were replaceable thereafter. Euro's might have gotten updated sooner than ours did.
