W211 Existence of venting flaps
Hi everybody,

before I had my new W211(420 CDI-2008), I used to have a W124 (260E-1988) which used to have venting flaps in the back in the fender zone.

Now I have this W211, Can some one tell me whether this model has venting flaps as it was the case for the 260E?

I found sometimes there is a lot of humidity which may bring problems on the various CAN.

Thanks for the replies

Regards

humidity does not cause can problems. i live in the most humid state in the US and have never seen any can issues related to humidity.
