- b200 cdi cvt
Hi guys, I recently had the dreaded CVT failure on my 2007 b200 at 90500 miles. I have a warranty direct warranty on it and took it to a gearbox rebuilder. They opened up the CVT and found there was metal contamination, the ECU had failed and the cones were scratched. WD decided it was a new box or nothing so we put a brand new CVT in at a cost of £4500inc vat, of which my share is £1500.
As you would imagine, most of the front end was removed to take the CVT out and now whenever I have the air con on, there is a huge discharge of water under the car. I parked up at McDonald's the other day and within 20 minutes there was a large puddle at least 10 litres under the car. I boiled the liquid off with a blowtorch and it is pure water.
The garage says this is unrelated to the work they did. Any ideas what would cause the condensate to leak, please.
The water is not discharged if i just use the fan cooling rather than the AC.
