This last few days has got me thinking about the water drains on MB cars in connection with the front air intake where the drains block and blows the heater motor.
This was never a real big problem on the 201 or 124/126.
With the start of the 202 and 140 the problem seems to have started, and by the time we get to the 220 some serious mods have to be done to rectify this problem.
I have sent out so many instruction for cleaning out the drains it is almost unreal for all of the newer cars.
Many cars including Volvo do not have any problem in this area, so is this a move on MBs part to get work, no attempt has been made in the last 15 years to alter the design or give any easy access to the air intakes.
I think that it is a poor job if this is the best that they can do
