And the вЂњHeating/Ventilation and Air Conditioning IвЂќ as specified the Mercedes Service Manual for the 240D. This is for a вЂњAutomatic Climate Control IIIвЂќ for the 300TD as specified in the Mercedes Service Manual. What is specified for the 300TD will apply to the 300D and 300CD usually. IF I have not listed a car then it applies to both. I am trying to show pictures that are specific to the model listed. Notice some pictures are labeled 300TD, 240D and 300TD/240D. Not mandatory but preparing for the test teaches you a tremendous amount about the AC system.
