Hi Guys,
My 2001 C Class has developed this really annoying clicking sound that starts off when the car is started and the AC vents behind the dash auto adjust. It is as if a worm screw has reached the end of its travel but does not switch off, therefore continually clicking. It does this for three bursts that last for up to two minutes. I have been told by the Merc garage that this is a known problem and will require the install of an upgrade kit and also the removal of the dash to fit it. The dash removal worries me the most as once moved, i'm sure it will begin to rattle and squeek (as anything does once removed and replaced!)
Has anyone else experienced this? Is the dealer telling the truth?
