aircon

Had an incident with Bambi who shredded by grill and managed to puncture my aircon condenser. Lots of aftermarket version available but how easy are they to swap? Happy to spend a day doing it but how tricky is it? Do I need any special tools? All help gratefully received. Thanks k

Hi. My S212 E250Cdi is coming up for it's 4 year service. On the M-B service plan so will getting it done at the main dealer. They have recommended that I also pay an additional £65 for an aircon removal of refrigerant, lube, dye test and system refill. Compared to what my local Ford dealer...

Hi everyone. I'm in south of France and on way down had the air con on most of the trip. First day no prob, but on the second the air coming into the cab felt like it was restricted? This happened after about 2 hours of use. We stopped took the new pollen filter out and tried the system again...

My car is a 1995 C220 W202 and I've been told by the guy who regassed it that the way the electric fans work is wrong. The viscous fan operates as it should. 30 seconds after the aircon's turned on the fans operate at high speed for 3 seconds and this cycle is then repeated. There's a...

Hi, The Air Conditioning on my 2005 SL350 does not work where I, this afternoon, had the systems purged plus re-gassed - the system was completely empty and I don't know for how long. However, the AirCon System still does not work where the fault codes presented are B1269 and B1059. I am...

Hi Guys. I have the above car. Air duct of driver sides are blowing normal fan air and passage side is blowing cool air. Mercedes Manchester last year changed dual valve and now thus year I have same issue it was under 1 year Warren ty so I went there and they advised there is a condenser leak...

I Know there are several reports of many models having seen this fault over the years, where the drivers side blows hot or warm air and doesn't cool down. I have now had two duovalves replaced under warranty, the second as the first was replaced under warranty and now the warranty has expired...

W215 Cl600 Hi, It gets very hot out here and, when returning to the car after e.g lunch, the aircon doesn't come on for between 5-10 minutes ....... just when you need it! It's fine when starting first thing, in the garage, which is open-fronted but covered from the sun. Does this...

Popped down to my local motor factors to pick up a battery and, as always, there was the owners R129 SL500 parked at the back. Looking at it I thought the dash looked odd and then thought it's only got standard ventilation, not A/C (never seen one without an EC button before). I've never seen...

I have a Mercedes W203 2002 which last year had a leaking injector seal for some time and whenever I used the AC/blower it would pump an awful burning fuel smell into the car. After having the injector re-seated, the crap cleaned off the engine and the pollen filter replaced the smell went away...

Hi all, The other day my Air-conditioning stopped working, the light on the button next to the Auto button is constantly on and no cold air is forthcoming, any help/advice would be gratefully received. Regards, Chalpkin.

Not specifically a MB specialist, but in the field of air conditioning, much better! Compressortech, of Warwick, I would say if you have any problem with your aircon, bring your car here. I took my car to a highly reputable local MB specialist, who put the diagnostics on it, and said I...

Just had the bad news that mine has failed, so if anybody has one knocking around (unlikely I know), let me know. I guess even a failed one could be useful to send off for remanufacturing. Also, any advice on the subject welcome, I've done the usual searches, and found some threads on the...

I have just purchased a 1988 300CE, aircon was not blowing cold, so had it regassed. Strange problem now - When car is "cold", A/C switch does not come on, no A/C light, compressor not engaged. After driving about 10 minutes, or when car has been standing out in the sun and has got quite hot...

Just switching on the ignition and waiting 5 seconds or so makes the vacuum motor in the boot side panel start buzzing. It can do this for 5 seconds or minutes. After starting the car it'll come on when it feels like it and carry on for as long as it likes. Recently the noise has been noticed...
