Hello guys! i just came across a little problem with my car recently...
Today I noticed some cold air was coming out o the "feet area" where the pedals are..

I noticed this cause I was changing settings on the climate control and the knob that controls driver side was a little stuck when turning; Air then reduced from cockpit zone and more on to where the pedals/feet...


What could this be? Faulty climate control? I read somewhere something about the flaps but i really dunno


Any input ?


Thansk!

You need to include the year of your car because the controls changed. Also, there is nothing different about an AMG when it comes to climate systems. There are quite a few threads about this problem on the regular W209 forum, including one the last couple days.

If your HVAC is set to AUTO it will direct air wherever the system's sensors think it's needed.

its an 03' benz When I select the direction of air manually It stays the same..

I have what may be a similar issue with my 04. Knob controlling where the output goes doesn't seem to change anything when I turn it around. Always seems to blow everywhere and doesn't adjust. AC got so cold on my feet that I taped over the vents in footwell. Could there be something disconnected or a switch that's bad? I can live with it but would be nice to be able to adjust the flow of air as long as I don't have to replace the whole unit. Thanks for any advice!

I dont have this control head in my W208 but most problems stem from a clogged cabin filter or vacuum supply line cracked or loose.

Codes can be retrieved to test all the sensors. and a Star C4 hook up will tell all.
