Where can I get a rebuilt/used climate control unit and vents?

I need to get a working climate control unit. Are there any companies out there that will either rebuild mine or sell me a rebuilt unit?

I also need the double center vents that are right above the climate control unit.


Anyone know where I should start?

Contact Phil here at Mercedes Shop, got me a rebuilt climate control for my 90, about 1/2 what my mechanic said he could get a rebuilt.

OK about 60%.

A quarter of what the dealer wanted for a new one.

Great, thank you! I'll send him an email.

Phil offered me a whopping $16 off the dealers price, lol!! I think I can do much better on the net, I remember with my old 300E I was able to get a rebuilt unit over the internet with 90 days warranty for like 200 bucks, but I cannot find that company anymore.

Rebuilt Climate Control w/Warranty

I've used Rusty Cullens at www.*************** for years. Great service, prices, knowledge, etc. A rebuilt unit should run about $225 +/-. Good Hunting

Contact George Murphy at Performance Analysis. He is the technical director for MBCA and also sells parts. He specializes in climate control units. His address is George_Murphy@compuserve.com. Tell him I sent you his way.

I can recommend Rusty as well! I live in Atlanta and drop in his place to get parts from time to time. He's honest and quite a Mercedes expert.
