- ► The blower motor is an essential part of your Mercedes-Benz's HVAC system or any car for that matter. It distributes hot or cold air through the ventilation system of your car. If you're experiencing loud "whirring", squeaks, or rattling when you crank up your heat or A/C, your blower motor likely needs to be replaced. In this video FCP Euro Mercedes Catalog Manager - Kyle Bascombe, takes you step by step how to do this straight forward repair. This is for W211 - E350, E63 AMG, E500, & more.

W211 interior just stunning till this day
It has aged well Alex
Dude your video ARE SO FREAKIN USEFUL. Great amount of detail . Im about to replace mine 🚶🏻
This guy gives clear and detailed instructions. I like the way he gives his helpful input on the work he's doing, which you can tell comes from his experience.
Thanks Gabe G, Kyle has a lot of experience working on these cars giving him a wealth of knowledge he had to learn the hard way at some point ^.^
Kyle your the shit. Mercedes Benz Gurú. My w211 would not be what it is now, if it were not for your professionalism and knowledge on these vehicles. Much Love.
Best video to help the car owners save money. My E500 needs to replace the blower motor soon because it make big noise when I turn on the AC. This video save me a lot of time , I will follow your video remove the motor clean up and Lub the motor first , if still noisy I will replace a new one.
Thanks for watching!
Very intelligent user friendly mechanic.Great teacher.Thanks for step by step video.
Yes an excellent video. Every thing was covered perfectly. My friend was quoted $2,000.00 to do this job! Now I can help him out.
Thank you for watching; you are a good friend Joseph!
That’s ridiculous
Great video- had watched several others until I stumbled unto this one. Professional, to the point, no extra fluff or nonsense. Kyle is exceptional, knowledgeable not like all the other CZcams wanna-be stars.
This video was really helpful, I watched the video and I was able to replace my blower
What an absolute perfect video! You're a great teacher sir. And I love that Mercedes are so easy to work on; this same job on a Dodge Durango is a 6 hour job.
Very good video. Shows just how to do it.
I wish you would do a video on how to completely bleed the brakes and SBC on a 2004 E500 with the SBC brakes! I need to replace all my fluid. Thanks, Tom
Just picked up an '05 E55 and I'm very thankful for these vids. Looking forward to more W211 content.
We're thankful for you too Vyasa, thanks for watching!
Great instructional video. I have a 2008 E 350 with a squeaky HVAC blower. Took it out, greased the bearings, put it back in. No squeaks. Work took a little longer as it was my first time but it was as shown in the video. Saved me over $600 for a dealer-replaced job.
Brilliant video, straight to the point and not too much waffle, thank you! My W219 CLS has the chirping sound, I was worried the motor/fan would be buried behind the dashboard but I'm relieved it's easy to access.
I'm amazed by this guy! Definitely on point with his knowledge and explanation.
Thank you for the video. I just replaced my blower. I paid about $175.00 for the parts and it took me about 20 minutes to complete the job. The video was perfect!!
Hopefully you were able to get the parts from us! Happy to help, and glad it was a quick and easy DIY for you Joanne!
Amazing videos and content from FCP Euro!!!!
Thanks Mickeevn appreciate the support
Thank you! Very good video and very helpful with details ! As I recall when I replaced the fan in my Dodge van years ago the hardest part was being upside down looking up to remove the screws. Get comfortable to prevent backaches. My fan in the W211 chirps in turns so it will be a soothing relief when I replace it.
Thanks for this video and the quality parts. I was able to do this job in 45 min on my W219 this morning. No more squeaks or burnt oil smell.
That's awesome, Dan! Happy to help!
GREAT video! Me and my teenage son knocked this out in about 45 minutes. THANKS!
Great video looking foward to change mine this weekend
Nice work!
love these videos FCP! keep it up!
We've got plenty in the hopper Charles, stay tuned.
awesome series
Kyle, excellent work Sir! Clearly explained, useful insights and tips, and expertly executed. A little more light, and maybe a few more close ups (even if it is just a photo with arrows) to illustrate the location of certain fasteners and items. But overall an excellent, useful video, and I did buy the heater assembly from FCP, due to your video. So, thank you to you and FCP for supporting the DIY'ers.
Good Job with Your demonstrating how to Replace and install the Blower and the Resistor ,now I have more Confidence to replace mind 🎯😎🎯
Awesome! This video settles a dispute with some who state it's A/C compressor sitting where the blower is. Thanks for this vital info.
Did we win you any money? Perhaps an adult beverage?
@@fcpeuro We get another subscription as prize. We have watched the video again and FCP Supreme Court has ruled.
Looks like you forgot to plug in the light on the kick panel. GREAT video!!
Good catch! Glad you like the video, Alonzo!
this video helped me and i fixed this issue my self .
Great video, very well lit and demonstrated!
Glad you liked it! Hope it was helpful!
Mine literally just started making noise! Perfect timing
We could sense it Gagyourself, thats why we posted this video... Be sure to checkout the link to the kit in the description if you hadnt already, it has everything you need!
If its just squeaking/chirping then just drop some oil/wd40 on the bearings, no need to replace the motor. I did that only once and haven't had any noise since (20k km and counting)
Incredible video! Smart, thorough and to the point. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very relax n confident man…
Good job n clear instructions..
Keep up brilliant teacher
my man again with th w211 videos keep em comin
We've gotchyou R M, more to come!
Super helpful! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful, Joe!
thank you for put this together.
No problem John hope you found this DIY helpful!
Thanks for all the videos that you do for us that owns benz you save us alot of $$$$$$$ 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome, very brief 😎.
Thank you for your demonstration. It helps me replace my own.
You are welcome! Glad you're finding it helpful!
Thank so much great video I really appreciate your videos keep them coming again great job
Thanks for the love, Wendell! More to come.
Thank you. I thought i was going to have to pull steering wheel and dash just to access the blower motor so i kept putting this off. This should be easy by comparison.
Great video. If my fan isn't always working (works about 50% of the time) is that likely just the regulator/resister? I may buy the kit anyways. Seems fair price
Great job👍
Love this video man!! Great and Imma save some money!!
Save that money!!
good information
Thanks for the video, my AC is blowing on full but also is you take the ignition key out. Is this a resistor or a relay problem? Not being able to reduce the speed points at resistor failure, being stuck on all the time points at relay, any advice, tips or comments? thanks in advance
Excellent!!
It would be awesome to know about W211 LED bulb replacements. Not necessarily replacing the whole bi-Xenons headlights, but more the front yellow parking lights and trunk area lights on E-wagons. Thanks again for the great info 👍🏼
vidsforsquids we have something coming your way , it will cover all the basic maintenance and DIY's. Just give us some time!
FCP Euro Looking forward to it. Thanks for everything ⚡️
Thanks for your videos.. they are educative .... How do I locate the crankshaft sensor on a W211, M272 engine .... What part is it located??
Thank you 🙏
When I do plumbing replacements I take a photo of the part to remember which way it goes etc
Thank you, i have do one tomorrow... Peace
Very professional and without any annoying loud music. Thank you for the clear instruction and helpful tips.
Where is the fuse for the blower motor?
My climate control lights and all the buttons work but no cold or hot air comes out when you push the buttons, the windshield defroster does not work, no air but the rear defroster works when you push the button, by that I figured the buttons/control panel is good. So, does anyone have any idea what is going on??
Should I just change the blower?
Or maybe is it a fuse to the blower?
This happens after I jump start my battery.
I'm thankful for any help🙏
Good job! :) Will there be more repairs on this model? It would be nice to have something to help during the repair of my e500.
Nag (not saying youre being a Nag), we will for sure be having more W211 repairs on varying models, including an e500.
Great series on the W211. Thanks. Is it possible for you to create a video to flush the fluid in the SBC system? Mine needs doing. Thanks again from Australia.
Thanks for watching, Idlewanderer! Stay tuned as we have more W211 content coming!
Well changing the regulator increase the speed of the air coming out of the vents or is putting in a new motor good enough? I have the squeaking noise so I know the motor needs changing but would like to save money if I don’t have to change the regulator
i have engine light on even if i sorted out intake manifold control. before car was not accelerating. but once i put resistor on 2nd and 3rd points, everything was fine with good accelearation but engine light did not go. what do you think this might be? i appreciate your advice. thanks in advance..
Thank you🎉
Hi Kylie
Could you please advise if the MB E63 AMG w211 2007 AC Heater Blower Motor Fan Assembly J146 will fit and work in my W211 E200K 2007 Sedan. I am in Australia so its RHD I have sourced this part in Aust second hand and working. Love your vids and hope you can help me Cheerz Stuart😁
another great video to repair this scheduled failure.
My blower has been bad since new... the 2x sleeve bearings were purposely dry so I just lubed 'em... Bosch quality 😅
well when I got my w124 my blower motor was not even working.
I have a W211 2003 Model..whenever I switch on the aircond, theres nothing happening..not even air coming out. I open the hood and found that the aircond pipe freezes. Not sure if its the blower problem.. but I can see theres water trapped around the thing like a small battery underneath the filter... appreciate if you can suggest to solve the problem. Very good vid btw
I have an 06 and there's little to no air pressure coming from the vents unless I turn the blower lever to the max. Most of the air seems to come from the bottom of the car and not the vents on the dash regardless of adjustments. I'm wondering if it's the blower motor?
yeeesssssssssssssss siir w211 for ever broooo
Hello would this apply the same for a 2007 E320 where the blower only works intermittently? Great video! Thanks
Hi, Ron. Yes this should be the same process!
Hello there, I'm having some issues with this matters. Now, I don't know exactly what is not working if it's the blower motor or the resistors, something that I would need to check with the technician mechanic first. My question to you since you used FCP EURO parts, are they good quality parts for my e350 3010 mercedes and what price range am I'm looking at and if it's necessary to replace all parts even though if it's only one part with the problem, let's say the blower motor? I appreciate the response thank you.
This is the only video close to my question that I found but I have a 2009 E-350 that has an odor when I first turn on my heat/AC…I replaced the cabin and Intake filters and I can’t seem to remove that initial odor…it seems to go away after a few minutes but starts all over after turning the car off for a few hours! Please Advise? Thanks!
Is the w210 and the w211 essentially the same set up? I have a 96 and the mechanic said that the blower motor is bad. I never heard the bearings making any noise before it went out though
Hello. Would this procedure be the same on a 2012 C300 W204? The blower fan has started to chirp when the heat is on and the fan is set to lower speeds. I've changed out the cabin air filter before and it generally looks to be the same on mine as the E Class.
Since it is a different chassis, there are differences, however, it is a similar process on both vehicles.
Can you just install without a new resister if you change the blower engine part itself?
My w211 just stopped blowing out all together. Is it just the resistor or the blower motor or is it beat to just replace both.
Is there any clear cut way to tell what needs to be replaced, the resistor, or the blower motor?
What does the resistor does? And how I know is bad ? I have a E350 thanks
Hello kyle
Iam from india and bought a w211 E200 kompressor model and i have issue while idling engine the car shivers and rpm gauge goes down below 10 could pls help me find the solution for this
Is this a OEM parts for blower and restor ? ,black and red cable to the motor seems not to be the orginal parts, should be brown and red !
With your help I just changed the module of the blower motor by myself for 10 euro, instead of replacing it all for maybe 100 euro. Thanks!
forgot to mention AC wasn't working at all, not it works flawlessly xD
Do you have any idea where the fuse is for the blower motor? Mine does not blow cold or hot air after a dead battery jump start. Thanks for your help.
Is this similar for a 2010 GLK350?
Great instructions. The link for the kit seems like it no longer works, and I couldn't find the resistor part on the site.
Hi Steve, sorry for that. The blower motor can be found here: www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-blower-motor-nissens
Weher do i find the air condition fuse or relay on a e500 2003
Do you know what that plunger is for
do some blower motors come with the resistor already attached
My blower works fine, but when you put the car on defrost, nothing comes out at the windshield. Any ideas?
Thanks
As a loyal FCP client may I ask for a
Power steering pump replacement DIY on w211 E63? :)
We'll have a chat with Kyle and see how his personal E63 is doing in the p-steering pump department :)
Hi I want to know if 2008 E63 front 18X8 and rear 18X9 wheels will fit in my 2008 e350 4matic #w211
It should fit, but hey, if it rubs, it'll eventually clearance itself 😂
i wonder if the cabin air filter being installed incorrectly caused the blower motor to go bad ???
I have enjoyed the W211 videos. I could be wrong but looks like you might of forgotten to plug in the light before putting the upper foot trim piece back in.
😳brb (giving Kyle a verbal lashing). If thats the case good eyes, we will note it in the descript if so.
@@fcpeuro No verbal lashing is necessary. Just a very attention to detail viewer enjoying your content. I ordered my blower motor kit as well. The noise is taking away from my experience driving my W211 😉
I was wondering if someone can help me out, I bought the capacitor and blower motor from fcp and swapped it and it had been working perfect until about a week ago it takes the blower motor a little bit to “rev up” what do you think the issue could be?
Hi Caleb, you may want to check your wiring and ensure that is all proper, as well as make sure the cage on the blower is not binding up anywhere.
Im Mohamad from Lebanon , my car is mercedes benz w211 , 2003 .
A foul smell that suddenly appears when driving a car. what is the reason? please.
Would this process be similar on a glk350
Hi Moshe, the GLK being an SUV would be different. However, it might be a similar process.
My heat and my AC takes a while to turn on , when it turns on it’s only on for few mins then dies off again. It’s getting real hot out by time I get to work I’m dripping sweat I need to find the issue it’s driving me nuts
My fan just went out in my 2008 e350 benz and I really want to try this but I’m a little nervous 😬
You can do it! 😎
@@fcpeuro I did it it’s working. I just want to say thank you so much for this video and I wish I could like it a million times thank you so much.
I’ve had my w211 so long I’ve changed the blower motor twice. Would have been nice to have this video prior.
Wow, jaydee, did you buy your W211 new? Hopefully, this video will be useful for the next time you replace the blower motor!
FCP Euro : almost new. I have an 07 e63 and have had it since 08. I stopped buying cheap Chinese blower motors a decade ago since you never know what you’re going to get! Next time mine fails I’ll order your kit.
this dude should work for donut media!
How can I get you to ship me original parts ..
How do you know if the blower motor is bad???... Say for instance, my ac isn't coming on, nor does the cooling fan come on...Cls 550 (219), 2008..., It runs hot, changed cooling temp sensor, ambient air temp sensor, checked relays, fuses.........
Link to parts doesn’t work anymore, can you please update to the correct kit? Thanks!
Hi Fanzindel, that can be found at www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-blower-motor-assembly-acm-2119062300, or by using the My Garage tool on FCPEuro.com!
Great video. Thanks. Also thanks for the great price on the kit you sell. The parts in your kit are the exact, OE, Behr parts ands big savings over those with the 3 pointed star. A few points in just having done this. 1) Yes, you could do this in 35 minutes, but you would have to be a lot more flexible than me to do it that fast. To get my old ass on the floor and craning my neck under the dash it is goes more slowly. If you are young and flexible like the presenter, then 35 minutes is quite accurate. But… 2) If you are doing your own car, you are going to care to clean out the 15+ years of dust and dirt accumulated under the kick panel. I took time to vacuum and wiper the surfaces under there. And, 3) you will probably find, like I did, that the old blower has spread greasy metal dust all over the bottom cover of the blower. I took time to wash it with soapy water and dry it. 4) To reach the back screws I used a flexible bit extension instead of a ratchet and handle and it worked fine. If using an electric driver set the torque to the lowest setting so you don’t strip the holes. I then go back and gently check them by hand and tighten slightly if needed.
Thanks again FCP.
A while back, I had a mouse or something build a nest or whatever and it clogged up the blower with a bunch of debris. Made the fan noticeably loud. Mercedes cleaned it for free as part of an oil change, but said I'd have to pay the next time. Now the same thing is happening again. If anyone knows how I can clean the debris out simply, I'd appreciate it. I can remove the cabin filter on my own, but can't figure out how to access the blower. No CZcams video on it for my vehicle. 2018 GLA AMG 45. There is an airbag or 2 in that general area, so I'm concerned about messing around and causing damage.
👍
Lol I thought this was Andy Peters !
Why are there no carbon filters on the left?
The under dash carbon filters were an option so many - perhaps most - US spec W211s and S211s don’t have them. The cabin filter is under the hood right next to the firewall. For models with the Aux battery, it is right over the Aux battery.
супер👍🙌🙌🙌

SO IS IT MY BLOWER IF THE AIR FEELS LIKE ITS BLOWING BUT IT REALLY ISN'T
Hi Reggie, that would be a great place to start and diagnose.
