Heater control

[jim57]

Hi all
I have had my E 240 estate 1999 now for a few months and I love it, just two minor problems. The heater temperature control wheel has to go to the last click in the red zone before it gives out heat, I am worried that in the winter it might not be hot enough. The seal on the drivers side electric window is perished and looks like it needs to be replaced. Are these bits covered on my warrantee, I bought the car from Mercedes Direct. If not has anyone got any ideas on how to repair.

try the heater when the outside temperature is lower. they are controlled by a thermostat and only kick out heat when it's needed to raise the cars temp to the setting on the dial.

try it with the fan on 1 or 2 and see what happens.

This information is based on My W124 so hopefully it applies to yours as well.

If there is a fault I'd assume they were warranty issues and ask the dealer to rectify them

Thanks Andy, it does make sense I will try it later. Phoned MB they said the window weather strip is wear and tear, oh well worth a try.

if i was u, i would argue out the door seal problem. i mean who makes a car so tht door seals perish in under 5 years. they dont, y only ure car, obviously a mistake they have made and should sort out
