There's a couple of items to check out -

* as other's have said, check the level to make sure the refrigerant isn't low.

* the W208 has A/C plenum sensors that can go out (I've had this happen in the past) and those will control how cold the A/C will get as well.

There's a body control module that the dealers use the SDS to pull codes from to see if the sensors are working properly or how much pressure (measured in Bar) there is within the high or low side of the system.

Thanks for the advice.

Freon was low by 75% and they are now checking for leaks.

Very Strange...?

Well, after recharging the freon & checking for leaks, Nada..?
AC now blows cold, there are no leaks after missing almost 1.5 # of freon.
Any ideas?
