climate control schematic
RE: '79 450sl (107) Climate Control schematic...
As you know, this climate control system for this car is a nightmare...a very badly designed system that we're forced to use.
My climate control system wasn't working. I removed the glove box and bottom dash panel. I found about a 1/2 dozen vacuum hoses disconnected. I am looking for a vacuum hose schematic, hopefully including the color codes, to straighten this mess out.
This thing is nuts! hoses to valves, to other valves, to vacuum modules, to other hoses, out through the fire wall...what a mess. The amp and control box under the hood, fuses, etc all work fine...its these hoses!
I would appreciate whatever help I can get for this problem....especially a schematic, or where I might get a copy of the schematic.
Thanks in advance.

Climate Control Schematic
This is really driving me nuts. I'm still trying to find a schematic for the climate control vacuum hoses for my 1979 MB 450sl. My local MB dealer hasn't got a clue. I even contacted MB in Germany...I don't speak or write German, so I'm still screwed.
I would appreciate any suggestion anyone might have for this problem. One guy at a local MB indy garage said he could fix it, but I would have to leave the car with him for a week, and deposit $250.00 on account. On account of what? I really don't like the way this guy does business. I can fix this myself..I just need the schematic. Does anyone know why this is so diffiicult to get?
Thanks in advance.

DM,
Contact George Murphy at Performance Analysis,

George has probably forgotten more than most of us know about these systems. He's on or head of the MBCA Technical Staff. Good Luck
