    1997 c250 TD

    I have a 1999 C250TD & have put 18,000 miles on it since I bought it in February. Faults? Window wiper linkage greased as the wiper action had become very lumpy!! This is a common issue but is easily & cheaply sorted. Pollen filter changed as heater blower was not blowing. Again, a cheap...

    W202 C250TD Heater Blower Fault

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, I can alter the fan speed - the switch works OK & there is a change in tone as you change the fan speed. It just doesn't blow any more air out as you increase the fan speed! From the feedback so far it sounds like an easy fix once the problem is identified. Craig
