PLS HELP: W221 Command LCD Screen tilt motor playing up?
Hi there. Got into the W221 S-Class last night and started hearing a whirring sound from behind the air vent system.
Finally located the problem. My command LCD screen tilt motor appeared to be on continuosuly causing a tilt of the Command screen in and out very slightly around the axis.
Has anyone ever experienced this before or knows what the problem could be? Have there been any S-Class recalls with this problem?
I'd be amazed if the tilt motor has gone - could it be some sort of belt that is slipping? How easy will it be to rectify this in terms of access to the tilt motor?
Appreciate any help and advice someone could offer. Many thx.

i would assume a w221 is still under warranty - unless you have an earlier build with a lot of miles. in any case, you might find more help in the w221 specific forum that's a few more sections down on the main page.
