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.

Manano...

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
