climate control works intermittently
Hi,
I have a 2010 E550 and it has 85000 Kms. Since yesterday, I have been observing issues with the Climate control.
In the morning, when I first started the car and drove a bit , the climate control (in Auto) kicked in and blew warm air till the set temperature was achieved . Then I turned my car off for 5 mins as I dropped my kid at the school. When I turned the car on and drove a bit, the system did not kick in although it was getting cooler inside the vehicle.
Eventually the windows started to fog up and I tried to hit the front window defrost but nothing happened. I turned the system off but to no avail.
This evening same thing happened.
Works fine when car starts after a long hiatus but if it is turned off and started after a few minutes, the climate control does not respond.
What could be the issue? Any ideas?
TIA

Could be something with the thermostat. I've had similar issues before on other non-benz cars and it ends up being something with the thermostat. I would book it in and have it looked at

Do the troubleshooting.
W212 needs a scanner to read codes and values, but this old help will give you idea what to look for. http://www.mercedesmedic.com/ac-air-...le-codes-list/
