[@dirkkelly9596]

Thanks again for looking out for us lost souls that refused to think are cars might be a little obsolete

[@Matt_from_Florida]

My old Mercedes isn't as old or obsolete as I am!!!

[@jamesadams2333]

I’ll never find day where these cars aren’t fascinating to me! Thank you for all you do Kent!

I have a 1978 Mercedes 300 SD TUBO AND IOVE IT

[@Clickbaiters]

Just wanted to say thank you for the vast information/knowledge your channel provides about these vehicles while I can still post a comment as many of your comments sections are disabled and I can probably guess why. These videos will eventually become time pieces themselves. Stay blessed.

[@terminal-velocity111]

I agree, we’ve been blessed with a treasure of knowledge.

[@6DtHAngL6]

Great video - I can’t say enough good things about the folks at Klima. I used their parts and know-how to rebuild my old 240D AC system years ago - top notch parts and people, all around.

[@truefunk99]

The Fuse Holder at 6:28-6:45; protection fuse for your New Climate Control panel very interesting!

[@rlr240sc]

I installed one in my w123 two weeks ago and it is fantastic

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Nice info. 👍 The new HP heater valve is going to be a big hit.

[@mnbsay9548]

Thank You! I’ll look into this klima control and seeing if the local guy knows about this.

[@joewellborn802]

Thanks for walking us thru the climate mono valve, Kent. My r107 heater is currently working great, but I’m going to take a look at the mono valve and I’ll know what to do when/if there’s a problem. As always, your enthusiasm for old Mercedes is contagious!

[@danb37]

Hello from Wisconsin
Thank you for your new video
I will definitely get some parts in the near future.
So far my 82 300d with turbo @ 260k is working great thanks in part to all your help

[@MissionaryForMexico]

Going to order the klima mono heater valve replacement today. Tired of no or little heat from my 126 300SD 1983. My most favorite car I have ever owned! Will never sell this diesel antique. I love this old turbo diesel, still get 23 mpg with over 300,000 miles. Had to replace the odometer plastic gears, so no telling actual millage! It's a tank, but rides and handles like new. Of course I have spent a lot of time working on this old beauty!

[@johnbower5732]

I'm so ready to try this kent...

[@truefunk99]

That broken pin at 5:38, I did that. lol

[@mercedesfriesland]

Nice solution Kent. And you are always laughing in your video, funny. 🤣👍

[@peterbalgemann7927]

Thank you Kent.

[@mnbsay9548]

Thank You! My 88 560sl is in need of help. Klima control I’ll look into this.

[@debrawade9882]

I used to own a 88 560sl, beautiful car! I'm driving a 91 420 now.

[@CrToloss]

Thank you Ken..

[@denitipuric1130]

Thank u Kent

[@mcapps1]

I wish there was an alternative for my climate control and my ignition for my 98 w210 wagon.

[@w123benzman]

... but what an update versus the Auto Temp II systems from 76-81!

[@whoisgoogle]

Hi Kent

[@thomasconnolly7452]

Thanks for the info. I've had my 88 560SL for just over a month and the heat was great. Today about 15 minutes into my drive it quit. When I stopped, I restarted it for the heck of it and the heat came back. This wouldn't be the valve would it?

[@fredfontaine695]

So 85 380SL.
Heat would be fine at startup but fail after about 8 miles. Did some research and thought it "might" be the monovalve, so I put in a rebuild kit.
Now no heat at all.
Reads 28 volts at the connector, no matter where the temp dial is.
Thoughts?

[@avivscrewvalla]

I've purchased Klima's Sanden Aircon kit to replace the terrible factory air conditioner compressor. They have a high quality bar and don't like Chinese parts. I feel confident they will only supply quality parts.

[@redwolfpiping5701]

What about an early 1984 wagon, does it use the same Bosh or something else

[@Mercedessource]

Yes it does

[@scottritchey7492]

Does this new Klima valve work with the w126 windshield heater? Also how hard is it to install behind the w126 300SD false firewall?

@@Mercedessource Thanks.

[@scottritchey7492]

@@Mercedessource Thanks for the link. Now that I'm getting my '82 300SD ready for daily use, I continue to find needed parts among my spares that I bought from you previously. Some bought over 20 years ago and all still good and top quality (many NLA or very pricey now).

[@technicalitems731]

Does anybody make a kit to just install a regular 240d style climate control in dash?? Knobs? Something normal? Thanks

[@h.v.g7882]

Of have a question, are in general, the W123 300 diesel and the W126 diesel the same?

[@alexbredewoud5063]

Hi Kent my w124 has a delay with the climate control it takes about 30 minutes to switch on have you experienced this problem?

[@jameswillburn9503]

Hello Kent and thank you for your many videos and advice.
I am looking to purchase a true love of mine. A 1983-1985 300D.
Do you have anything available?

[@Mercedessource]

Hi James, please email [e-mail] with specifics of what you are looking for and what you are willing to spend.

[@cooly381]

Hey Ken, do you work just on your car or would you be able to work on my 1998 Mercedes S600?

[@Mercedessource]

Very sorry but I just don't have time to work on customer cars
