My blower motor has been squeaking for a while and recently blew the fuse. It worked for a while but then started making and awful rattle and blew the fuse again. I'm guessing the motor is toast and needs to be replaced.

Is there a w201 blower motor repair tutorial on here somewhere--is it similar to the w124 procedure? I've got a haynes manual that is less than helpful--do you start taking apart the firewall on the passenger side to get to it or take the wiper assembly out and go in from the top?

Go in through the firewall, I think

The blower motor on the 210 is accessed from under the right side dash ( lefthand drive car). First you must remove the underdash panel and then there is a cover held on by 5 or 6 torx head screws. Once this cover is removed you can get to the motor and current regulator which is held on by 4 or 5 torx head screws.
Good luck,hope this helps. Robert.
