Hot and Cold?!?
Does anyone have any idea why when I put the heat on i my car...after a while it blows cold air????
Basically, if I set it to 80....or hot it blows hot air...the moment i go down to 78...75...72.....it starts to blow cold air again....so i bring it up to HI...........then its HOT....what gives?

Search "All Open Forums" using "duovalve" - you'll get plenty of writeups. Here's one on complete replacement for an E-Class - S-Class may be similar. https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...hlight=hot+air

First
run the onboard diagnostics.

then punch in the values.
then check your coolant level
finally clean and repair the duo-valve after you test it.By following the diy repair procedure on benzworld.org W210 diy section.
Most times a simple firm drum like tap on the side of each valve with the handle of a screw driver will free up sticking duo-valves,without resorting to taking them apart.

Far cheaper to repair or thunk on the side than spend $170 for a part that rarely fails and a simple cleaning resolves the issue.

The diagnostics
may work on the S platform,I keep forgetting you have an S now
The d valve listed is the w210 one so autohausaz.com will quote one for the S class.In any case between the nice diy up above and a tap of the screw driver you should arrive at heat nirvana
