The original comment was not about Jon or his particular car. It is a general thing. A 240D 3.0 like Craig's to me is 3 times more preferable than a 300D, just because of the hassle of the constantly breaking ACC. ACC II was a complete disaster (Crypsler), but accIII is THE MOST FAILURE PRON

Check the diaphragm. If it is ripped, it can cause the valve to jam in the full heat or full cold position. > On Dec 14, 2016, at 7:55 AM, Max Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > Sounds like the PBU is calling for heat (no power across the monovalve) all > the time, or the wiring has a fault.

What one need to understand about these climate control systems is that each part of it is interdependent upon the other parts. For instance, if your temp sensor (under that little square grill on the dash) is inop, your monovalve or AC will not know what to do. Ditto for the foam rubber tube

Agree totally, Kaleb! DO NOT buy the MTC version. It’s crap. They do not work properly, and the rubber diaphragm has a half life of burning match. I went through two of these with Rusty before buckling under and paying $140 (in 2012) for a real MB made in France. It’s worked perfectly since

Sounds like the PBU is calling for heat (no power across the monovalve) all the time, or the wiring has a fault. This assumes your insert is good and the coil in the monovalve works. You could try applying continuous power across the monovalve to see if that will close off the hot coolant flow
