Evil Servo

[jumbo]

Has anyone replaced there entire evil servo system with the controls from a 240D with manual controls. I have searched but have found nothing. I think in theory it should be possible. I was wondering if anyone had tried this.

Thank you. This looks like the right way to fix the problem to me.

i just finished doing the converison. I could do a write up i suppose if enough people asked for it.

basically its pretty simple:
1) go to the boneyard and get everything for system off the car( wiring harning harness, heater and evap box, cables, water valve, control, wood trims,) Remove it yourself and becareful to not break any of the plastic because as plastic gets old its more brittle especially in the cold. The worker at the junkyard i broke some plastic parts which i had to super glue back together.
2) remove everything assoicated with ACCII( wiring harness, heater core tubes, hoses, pushbutton unit, drain coolant, remove dash)
3) put the heater and evap box in first, water valve, hoses, hook up cables(the 2 cables on the water valve go to the opposite in the cablin, so left goes to right and right goes to left.
4) pull up the heating and ac wiring diagram for the car pillaged
5)Wire it in adding wire if necessary. use 10 gauge wire for the blower motor and 16-22 for rest of the wires.
6)do a test run on the system make sure it works.
7) put the dash on and enjoy the system

I love the manual CC. My only gripe is no easy way to have heat from the center vents (I fixed that though).

heat usually doesnt come out the center vents but how do you do that?
