Heating Update
Hi all,
Experimenting a little today, I have found out that when the AC is apparently on (i.e. 'EC' light OFF) I get what feels like fresh air through the centre vents and definitely no warm air.
Since my manual advises that AC on does heat the centre vents, it occurred to me that, at some point in the past, the 'EC' (AC on or off switch) may have been cross-wired, so that 'EC' on is, in fact, AC on, and vice-versa. This mistake is possible on any toggle switch isn't it?
Seems logical - does it make sense to others? Remember this is the car that had 24 volt indicator warning lamps fitted...
I still think I have a slight under-performance at max heat, which may need some specialist MB input, but I am going to work on the assumption that I am right and see what happens over the next few days.
Thanks for your help, everyone.
Jens
