Fan Switch
Hey everyone, could someone tell me how the fan speed switch is meant to operate? In my car there seems to be exactly no difference between settings III & IIII or between settings I & II or between setting 0 and the setting marked in red. Also it leaks air (slight hiss from the switch) when set on mark 0 (when I originally bought the car they tried to pass that off as normal) anyway my mechanic said he could order another one but it would cost over $1,000AU ($850US)
. I just want to know if this is normal
. Thanks people!

Sorry, CLJ. I guess most of the members on this forum are in USA. The W124 USA version does not use this type of control. It just has 3 buttons for the fan, High, Low, and Auto. I would suggest that you look on E-Bay Europe for this fan switch. You can probably find it considerably cheaper than your mechanic. Maybe there is a similar forum based in Europe?
Good luck!

Attachment 108335[/QUOTE]
Same With Mine when its on 0 So Either its standard or just Common
I always leave the switch on the position just before the 0 As you pointed out

Yeh I know thats the worst thing about changing, the C-Klasse just isn't as good but the newer E-Klasse looks hideouse and the build quality isn't that great either so I think a W202 should be ok I hope

! But I meant the W210's I really think they are the low point in the Benz history. Still the quality is getting better now, so I've heard!
