It's been raining a lot lately so I haven't had the chance to get in there and take a look at the monovalve, but here's my question:
If it's simply "sticking on" and allowing coolant flow, why is it not even putting out cold air when the engine is still cold? I could understand the coolant overpowering the AC once it's hot, but when the engine is cold, it seems that the fan speed should kick up and put out cold air. But it doesn't. It's trying as hard as it can not to put out cold air, and waits till the engine temp picks up and then blows in hot air... Just trying to understand, Thanks!

As we have suggested, grab your screwdriver and take out the insert. It's the easiest job on your car, and a visual inspection will tell you a lot. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
