air conditioning
hi everyone,
my air condition 'died' of sorts today. I came in this morning and the fan was blowing lesser than normal, she was giving off warm air (temp set at 16deg C and on auto mode).
As I progressed through the day, the air became hotter and I was forced to put it on a LO setting where she finally gave off cold air.
Outside temp shows 38deg C ! (I live in Dubai where it REALLY gets hot thus time of the year).
Planning to take it to the stealer tomorrow, but just wanted to get a heads up of what to expect. I'm hoping that this is a minor issue and I dont want to get ripped off for a huge bill if its something minor.
Thank you for any suggestions.

took the car to the stealer today.. Found out that for some reason, the internal cabin sensor is giving a faulty reading (its telling the computer that its 0deg C inside the car.
Does anyone know where this sensor is located ? If its a DIY, I'd like to try and do it myself or get a smaller garage to do it. I have a friend of mine that owns a spare parts shop and I can get a pretty good discount on the sensor (something that MB will not give me, not to mention their insanely high labor charges).
Any help here would be appreciated...
Thanks, Manano
