Had the same problem on my 240DA.. The in and out hose in the heater was clogged to the point of no return... Tried to remove the hoses from the heater and ended up breaking the darn thing. So, living in S FLorida, I just bypassed the hoses and problemed solve for now. Next step a new heater.

b o a t f i x - great price, nice service and ships very fast

Time to change them.. I just replaced mine. Do-it yourself project. On the outside they look great, but once removed, lots of rust crumbs and a very small leak had developed to the block.. Needless to say, this is the number cause of engine failure. good luck..
