Yep, he didn't wait or want to figure out how to get at it himself. So he paid a non MB corner shop to do it. Against my advice I may add. Leason learned, I guess.

Still doesn't blow right, high is a weak breeze at best. The blower motor in my W126 did the same thing; it seized I freed it up. Never blew right after that and finaly gave up a few months later. I suspect his will follow a similer pattern.

what's wrong with those blower motors then? crap Bosch engineering? or does humid air from using the airconditioner get trapped in it?

They are nice blower motors. Age gets to them, nothing lasts forever.

116 motors last pretty long...

Heh heh

A friend of mine with a BMW 3 series paid $800 because his windshield washer stopped working. He brought it to the BMW dealer and they had a list of horrible things wrong with the car. I went over the list and they essentially did nothing to the car other than replace the washer motor and do some regular service items. To make matters worse it stopped working again because the idiots at the BMW dealer did not realize that the old motor just had clogged screens from debris getting into the washer fluid. I fixed the car the second time in his garrage in 5 minutes.

Its really a shame that so many shops are willing to rip people off and take advantage of them at the drop of a hat.
