S320 W220
W220 A/C works only in certain configrations
I have a W220 (S320 2001) that has front and rear A/C controls.It has the following symptoms regarding A/C:
when I used a scanner to I got the error shown in the attached image.(Duo Valve)
After sending it to the garage I deal with normally, he said that the A/C compressor is failing and said that the Due valve is not causing the issue.
He also refused to replace the Duo valve when I asked, saying it wouldn't make any change to the situation.
I'm not sure if I should go with what he is saying and replace the compressor, or try to replace the Duo Valve as shown in the scanner
Thanks for spending the time to read till here :smile, and I hope someone might have an idea to help me here
- When I Turn on the front A/C only, it keeps blowing hot air all the time
- If I turn on the rear A/C in Addition to the front one and wait for about 5-10 seconds the cooling starts working normally at the front vents
- The rear centre left vent blow cool air, but the rear centre right vent blows hot air
