Question Funny SMELL from the vents of 2005 C230K Sedan

Hey guys,

i'm new here, it looks like it's a very helpful forum.
anyway, here is my problem.

i purchased a 2005 C230K sport sedan back in Feb'2005. the weather we pretty hot wheni got it so i always had the air con on, and when winter came around i turned it off and the vents make this suffocating spell. it doesnt stink but just very annoying. almost like dust.

does anyone else have this problem? when the air con is on it doesnt make that spell. i even have a car air freshener now that the new car smell is gone and it still doesnt drown out the dust like smell from the vents. i will have it looked at by MB but i thought i would give this a try first.

ALSO, anyone know where i can get xeon lights for my car? and will it void my warranty? i decided not to get it cuz i didnt think it was worth the extra 1.5K but now i am regreting it. i know stock ones will cost nearly 5k from the factory and thats before labour! =(


HELP please!

i know there is one, i read it. but that one is about the ac vent, mine only smells when the ac is off and it's not mold. i dont live in an environment where that could happen.
