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!

 

^bump^

 

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!

 

Thanks for the info shdoug I'll have to keep an eye out on eBay.

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

 

Thanks Geh, how bout the other settings, mine only seems to have off medium or high!? Also when I floor the accelerator it blows out alot more air from the vents for a few seconds.

 

I Position Nothing Blows out, but when i have the vents set to open when driving and in I Position seems to push through more air?
II Seems to be my Low Setting
III Medium Setting
IIII High Setting

With the Accelerator Thing you have mine doesnt seem to sorry i cant help with that

 

Ok I guess something is up with mine. I'll dig around my wiring diagrams and try and find what the fan speed selector is wired to? Cheers Geh

 

No Problem, Ever Have a Problem That the Us-Spec Guys cant answer Give us a shout and ill help as best i can

 

Ah same to you! Good to have someone closer to home on here

 

Hell Yeah Not Many Aus Members Around.....Well i know of one....but we had a disagreement on Lexus vs Mercedes

That Friendship was over before it even started haha

 

Oh realy its not delija is it?

 

Ahh i dont think ive Seen delija around?

This Guys Name Is Adi_V :P

 

Nope havn't come accross him? I don't think Delija is on here much but hes from melbourne to. I was helping him order a Gen1 bodykit with me from Sydney but it all fell through

 

Dam that sucks i cbf getting a kit now until i start making more money it isnt worth it for me atm on my wages :P

But Yeah a Gen I Body kit would Def be one of my top choices, best looking i reckon, that and AMG Monoblocks :P

 

Yeh I was gona do the whole kit to but now Id rather just upgrade. If I sell my car this year like I plan I'll let you know what I'm doing with my monoblocks

 

Alright Sweet

What Car you planning to upgrade too?

 

Well I’m pretty sure I'll go for a C36, they already have their own monoblocks so I won't need mine. Still gota get a test drive in one though before I commit but

 

Sad To See You Move Away from the E class, But Glad Your deciding to stay MB

 

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

 

I love the New Look of the E Class , But Im To Scared About the Things That'll Break haha that and there way to expensive, oh well its nice to dream, cause by the time ill be able to afford them, every possible thing to go wrong with them will have done so, and will exceed the total value of the car.....Cars these days just arnt ment to last to much plastic

Oh well the love hate Relationships of owning a Mercedes-Benz

Always Going to Be a Mercedes-Benz Lover and Owner

 

Sorry yeh the new E-Klasse looks ! 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!


+ to that
