Triple check this. I've never heard clicking from the aspirator fan, but I have heard clicking from the vacuum manifold.
Both are located behind the glovebox.

Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.
Since its founding in late 2008, 500Eboard has become the leading resource on the Internet for all things related to the Mercedes-Benz 500E and E500. In recent years, we have also expanded to include the 400E and E420 models, which are directly related to the 500E/E500.

HOW-TO: Replacing 500E/E500 climate control air sampler ("asipirator") motor

Both are located behind the glovebox.
The aspirator fan will be behind/below the vent near the door; the vacuum manifold is just to the left of the glovebox and slightly below (may be partially hidden behind the edge of the center console). You really need to take out the airbag (or glovebox, some 1992 non-V-8 cars had bags, others kept the glove boxes) and listen very closely/carefully to the source of the clicking.
Will do... Thank you.Triple check this. I've never heard clicking from the aspirator fan, but I have heard clicking from the vacuum manifold.

It just weird that the erratic idle occurs at the same time of the clicking!!
None. ALL E500E models imported to the US by MBNA had sunroofs.
I don't think that the presence of a sunroof is the gating factor -- rather (and I could be wrong on this) I believe it would be whether the car was spec'd from the factory with ACC (Automatic Climate Control) - again, which all MBNA and MB Canada cars had. And likely most MB Japan cars too.
This is because the aspirator motor sucked in cabin air to determine temperature, and then sent a signal to the ACC system to maintain the "set" temperature and fan speed at the temp thumbwheel and the "mode" on the panel. Non-ACC systems used separate temperature and fan controls, which didn't require this "automatic" constant temp-sensing feedback loop.

MAny thx. Need it in Europe. But with the current USD, it might just make sense to do a shopping trip to the US. Here they want EUR 110Part # 000 830 19 08 is currently available at the following MB parts site for for $60.22.....happy shopping!
