Heating valve dissambled.

Have known for a while that there was something wrong with my heating system. Even if I put the temperature switches to max heat, it only came hot air for a little while then it cooled of again.

Decided to dissamble the heating valve which distributes warm cooling water to the passanger and drivers side. When I opened it I could immediately see that the rubber sealings where dry and damaged.

A new one at the local MB dealer costs almost 6000 SEK (900$), fortunatly I found a used one from a 300SL -89 and it only costs 460 SEK (70$).

I will put more pictures as soon as I get the new "used one"... 

Heather "duo" valve
Upper sealing is damaged on the right and the filter should be attatched to the rubber "diaphragm"


Clearly broken..




Due to the broken "diaphragm", cooling water has leaked in to the electrical coils.
