Hi all,
I wonder if some W124 gurus could help me with these (on a facelift model):
1 HRW, I have condensation and rear window demister problems. Condensation has improved with a clear out of both rear side wells, both of which had the little 3 hole air vents obstructed by previous owner clutter. The HRW works only top and bottom, never clearing the middle, which I presume must be element rather than fuse (checked and replaced) or N10 relay (presume if it was this, wouldn't work at all). Have ex-VAT quote of £216.65 fitted for new window, next day, from Autoscreens - seems very good. Is that the sensible option given the symptoms?
2 Have replaced external temp display with refurbished console module. Lights up but no data displayed. In most people's experience, what are the logical best steps for resolving this? Start with sensor presumably?
3 Is it general experience that the heating in the W124 is not actually that great? Mine is slow to adjust and never really that hot at the highest setting - I can always comfortably hold my hand in front of any outlet at maximum setting...
Cheers all,
Jens
