4 Zones problem, help!!

My car is equipped with 4 zones climate, but recently the vent in the rear right side is blowing some HOT air even when my temperature setting is "LO".
What's the problem? Anyone can help??

Noticed this exact same thing once. Not aware that it has happened again.

This occassionally happens to me, although I haven't seen it happen in months. I've seen many variations (such as hot air in the back during the summer, cold air in the front during the winter). It goes away after a restart. I've never bothered to have the dealer look at it, since it is totally random.

Happened on my E55 once and took it in. He replaced a blower or something like that. It was a pretty hefty bill from the looks of it luckily it was under warranty. Hasn't happened since. Have your dealers check it out.

Went to dealer this morning and they run a test with Star Diagnosis. They said the setting temperature of the 4 zones were mixed up. So they made a resetting of the 4 zones by the computer. Now it's back to normal. The dealer told me that they have experienced this problem with the W211 every once a while. They fixed it within 20 minutes and it was free of charge !!

Yup it seems as though your problem was pretty minor. Mine required a bit of interior removal haha.

My car did the same thing. They told me it was a loose connection. It has not done it since. Pretty funny that everyone has the same problem, but a different fix.

Don't tell me that they removed the dash-board to fix the problem. The only thing I could not tolerate for fixing the air-condition is to remove the dash-board. Felt sad for what you have encountered!!
