  • W220 – Climate: stiff breeze or mild breeze?

    Hello together! So the climate is slowly annoying… 🙁 1. I like to imagine – but can it be that I somehow changed what permanently through this diagnostic program “All flaps on – all flaps on” (REST + UMLUFT)? I can’t really imagine it, but – if I want to get fully blown through the middle nozzle and the left one because of the prevailing outside temperatures, only a rather lukewarm air comes… The blower is (well audible) on max. . – no matter if I put the mixed wheels on “auto” or at the top / bottom completely closed, really much does not come to my face… In my 126er – if I close everything except the two nozzles (center / left) – a really stiff breeze against… 2. my passenger suddenly said “Hey, it drips on my feet”. In fact, the area over the feet is wet… What is that again?? Climate or quite something else??? For your tips I would be grateful. Weakly cooled Gr Sweetheart, Holger

  • I think I fell in love…;-)

    Hello dear motor-talkers, as you can already guess at the caption play with me just the PS-hormones crazy. and if the hormones play crazy the head sets out to be a big deal. here the object of my desire I come from the c-class forum and would now like to ascend to the s-liga. my consideration was: with the gas system the upper class is really affordable and after reading here in the forum I have become very skeptical whether I am there because of the low anschafffun Gspreis and the small car-moderate sprit/gas-costs might have made up a milk girl bill. I mean if the km should be right and no maintenance stump is due should the workshop stays in the frame keep or is the s-class in the age no longer what I imagine under it? that the car looks a bit (ok quite) good also noticed to me, but I think I can manage with it. thank you already for your hopefully coming beitr äge, and if criticism is necessary to approach my loved ones then don’t save with it and open my eyes 😉

  • Clean the disk – with what?

    Hello to each other, this is now my first post here in the forum and – as indicated in the title, it is about cleaning a disc (the rear window of my W resp. V220). Due to a leak in the garage roof the “brothers” siffles for days on the rear window. Today, after I have noticed this, I reached for the usual tools (glass cleaner) and had to find that these “water” stains cannot be obtained from the glass. Also on the disc frame stains have formed t and – also these defy my cleaning actions. No idea about which acid mix the rainwater became. Does anyone of you possibly have a bomben house remedy for the disc (glass) or is there special cleaner for car windows? The colleagues A*ax, Si*olin etc. I already through… Ok – and now I have written a lassiter for such a crap. Sorry. Greetings and thanks

  • W220 – rear climate blows hot & cold

    Hello everybody, climate is a must these days – would be nice if it would work properly. 1.) In the rear it does unfortunately only 50% – even if I put it to a minimum, it blows cold on the right, but always hot on the left. 🙁 What can this be? 2.) In the front it is ok, but the temperature indicator seems to me to be about 5 degrees too high. Can you adjust that somehow? Ice-cooled greetings Holger

  • W220 Summer opening function ?

    Hello everyone, there would be a small problem with my “summer opening” of windows and sunroof. This always worked correctly: standing in front of driver’s door (side), thumbs open and hold. Windows, sunroof up completely up, driver’s seat cooling level 3. Yesterday stop not ! Windows and sunroof about 10cm up and stop. Seat cooling level 3 ok. I then drove all windows and sunroof each in all ending positions and tried repeatedly. [against the W220 dementia ] Nix, always only 10cm down/up. The BA also gives no explanation (or I didn’t understand ) Would someone have an explanation and thankfully a help to it ? With thanks in advance and on a bit (bish?) [a little?] CoolingGruetzi Miteinand

  • Cold starter

    Hallo 126-iger Gemeinde, Since it is here in Switzerland far below minus, I have the following problem with my 500 sec 1st series without cat when starting in cold condition: 1. It starts, but has to turn it 3-4 revolutions more than usual. I.e. in warm condition it needs a change and then runs immediately. 2. When the car has started, I have to hold it about 1 minute with gas to 1000 revolutions. Then it runs quite normal. I do not hold the gas, then it goes immediately again Can this be the kart start valve? Have you heard that the cold starter is only in connection with the cat?? Where is the part sitting exactly? Standing in front of the engine – the part with the blue plug, right in front of the air filter? Must the part be replaced – it can be cleaned or repaired. According to MB here costs CHF 500.–! Does anyone have experience with it? Thanks and Gruss Reto
