Has anyone used this website before?
I'm looking for part number: a0008303208 and it seems they have it available
Does anyone else know where I might find this in the UK?
Thanks.
Have you tried Gav?
Ah, now that we know it's a heater motor that helps.
Definitely try Gav - for some reason I have a feeling that the heater motor might be substitutable (is that a word) for one from another model and that might well be more available and cheaper. He'll know the answer.
Thanks Mark,
This is the part I'm looking for...
Mercedes Part number: A0008303208
Number as seen on the photo: BEHR 92.252.13.117
Happy to substitute with something else if a straight forward swap is possible?
Think a VW T4 was meant to have a similar part but I've not had much luck finding anything.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Have you tried here - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/blower-parts-10449/mercedes-benz
You need to put your model/engine size or registration number to find if they have the part for your vehicle.
The parts actually come from Germany. I've usee them and they were OK.
If it's a 460 heater motor I'm pretty sure one of the Sprinter vans motor is identical apart from price! Il check back and see if I have any info when I changed mine.
Thanks Spike.
please let me know if you find out the part that you used as I need a replacement as soon as possible.
As it stands I don't know if it's the motor itself, the relay attached or possibly both.
all advice welcome.
Don't come on here much....
That part number would appear to be a 460 with Factory AirCon?

Thanks for this Gav.
my W460 definitely didn't come with Aircon, so perhaps I was given the wrong part number.
When checking:
460 BLOWER MOTOR A000 830 13 08
I seem to get parts that just look like the blades themselves and not the full part as I posted in an earlier reply. Are you suggesting I can buy this part and just remove the centre, but keep the rest??
Thanks for your help

Hi, sorry can't find any paperwork, all I can say is that Gav supplied it and I'm fairly sure it was suitable blower for the T1 vans, there is no notable difference.
Thanks, Everyone,
So it looks like I'll need:
T1 BLOWER MOTOR - A000 820 62 42
W460 3 SPEED RESISTOR - A000 821 68 60
As far as I can see, I can buy a T1 Blower motor from anywhere between £35 & £135. Any advice?
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/a0008206242
and 3 Speed Resistor from here - It's cheap, but shipping isn't.

If anyone has any better suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks again.
Hi, buy genuine MB, you don't want to be taking out again! As I recall mine was around £95 and that was around 5 - 6 years ago, your best bet is to PM Gav
Sorry guys... flat out ...
The T1 motor is either a Bosch or more likely a Hella / Behr unit, the MB one has gone near £200 and probably £150 at mates rates
So i would be avoiding the £35 ones and go for a branded unit probably around £75/£80
You should get motor and blades
Resistor is only £20 or so from the dealers
Hi Gav
Thanks for dropping in, we miss you 
.
Cheers
Doug.
Thanks Doug and Nick
I do browse occasionally but i can't focus my time everywhere.... but if we all play nicely there is not only room for both but also plenty of scope to share! The GWOA and GWR are both run in different ways for different reasons and should complement each other well... having access to both should suit all people needs and personalities...
So if you can't raise me on here the you will get me on the other...
Always happy to help where i can...
Gav
PS some UK meets would help massively and always up for those as and when... I travelled to Ireland 6 times in 2019 on GWR events and even with a 1200/1500 mile round trip for each loved every one....even the one where my 463 300GD stuffed its starter motor as i was 3 hours away from a ferry sailing with 4 hours to go and ended in a Vito for that trip!
Thanks to Gav and everyone else who helped out with this one. I've got the 3 Speed Resistor arriving tomorrow at the local Mercedes Dealer and I managed to find a BEHR Blower motor online arriving from Germany next week.
GWOA does it again!!
Last of the bodywork finished now, so just the blower motor to put back in then I can get it back on the road.
