    Excellent video. I've had my 1983 300D for about 1 1/2 years and just about to the point where I need to get that dash off and replace that center pod.

      @@woodsandbarclay Your videos are great. You're doing what I've been sort of been dreaming of doing as far as restoring and re-selling these cars but don't worry, I'm still a beginner really. But I really love these w123s.

    To make things even more confounding, Mercedes designed these systems to open recirculating flap to bring in a percentage of outside(fresh) air for "safety" purposes supposedly. So when you need max AC you're still processing some outside air. Many people rig it so that it only works with the EC button.

    Good memories, fixing those pods has been some of the most rewarding work. I've had good luck fixing solenoids with brake cleaner.

      I'll try brake cleaner in the solenoid that's a good idea.

    Good stuff! No matter what setting is selected, I get air from the defrost and all the vents. I don’t want to take the dash apart. Is there anything easy I can do to rule stuff out? Actuator vs valve. Thanks

      The defroster pod is on the driver side down by your leg on the side of the center console.

      Sorry I haven't watched this video in a long time but if you're talking about the small cube shaped solenoids behind the climate control unit you can just hook 12 volt power to them and if you hear them click they are working. Once installed back in the car you test them by pressing the buttons on your climate control unit and all your vents and flaps should open and close correctly.
