S213 - Center Air Vents not blowing when setting it to do
I'm having an issue whereby, despite setting the center vents to blow, they don't do so. They only seem to operate when setting the air direction to the footwell... Very strange, since the outside vents next to the doors do seem to work as they should.
Anyone else experience this?

I have forgotten to turn the vents on before, it happens to the best of us.

Something odd there. MB often blows only cool air from the centre vents. Have not tried how our 213 behaves (wife's car) but if the vents are open, you should get cool air from the centre vents even (and specifically) when HVAC is set to auto.

Latest update - My friend's father in law works for the VIP and PR technical team for Mercedes (UK, Milton Keynes) and thinks that the vent motors have been connected the wrong way. He says that they can access from underneath the center console and simply reconnect the motors in the right way. Not overly invasive apparently. Let's see how we get on.
Will keep you all posted, but thanks for comments and suggestions.
