I wonder if somebody can help.
Apologies this is a long message but hope it's self explanatory.
I have a 2011 c class W204 which has a digital display control at the rear of the console between the seats. For sometime the drivers side of the tunnel has been getting hot. I have found 2 heater ducts running along the each side of the tunnel to what appears a disc shaped motor/blower I reckon it adjusts the rate coming out rear grill as you adjust rear panel.
I thought the duct might be leaking hot air where it connects to the heater outlet on drivers side as that's where it gets hot but it isn't.
What I've noticed is the drivers side always blows hot and other side seems to blow cold. Is that right or should both blow at same temp. It seems logical so you can adjust temp for rear seat area independently as it mixes hot and cold. If that's correct any idea why the tunnel carpet and plastic is getting so hot. It's not the exhaust. Also aircon is fine and front console heating controls working OK.
