I have a 1992 Mercedes W124 300E 4matic estate which has automatic climate cobntrol/. On a previous vedio, I had explained the system only to have a number of people incorrectly post comments that I was either wrong or my car did not have this system. I have done this video to explain in boring detail how it works and underline that it is indeed an automatic climate control system.

Bought an 86' 300SDL. Didn't know how to work the climate control, but this video has helped. A/C doesn't work on mine. So that's a project I'm looking forward to do in the future. Heat still blows good though.

One of the best automatic Air conditioner product on mercedes. I have the same on my convertible A124 and still works without any problem. On July 1994 when I bought my car in Germany the AC had a price of 4300 deutsch mark...2150 euros. In Europe was a must to have an AC on the car on the 90.

Thanks for the video. I just bought a 1988 420SEL without the owner's manual. I had no idea what the controls did. I was troubleshooting a problem with the blower. With your help I now know it is the blower motor resistor that is bad.

The O doesn't just turn the system off but it also closes all of the vents thereby stopping outside air from coming into the car which is great because in a lot of cars, when the system is turned off, you still have cold air coming through the vents during the winter or hot air passing through during the summer, unless you manually close all of the vents.

Same system as in my 1993 300E 2.8 in Canada. One thing to mention. These climate controls are often plagued with a plethora of cold solder joints on the PCB. Most climate control functions would not work until I repaired about ten colder solder joints; mostly on the mode selector buttons.

Interesting. My '84 500SEL (US market) has the same system, but no recirc button. I guess that feature was added later. My 40-year-old W126 is still running the original R-12 refrigerant. Blows 20F out the vents! Unfortunately, the compressor recently started weeping a bit of mineral oil, so an R134a conversion is likely in my future.

Thanks for the video, the control system is the same in my 87 420SEL. I do not have a manual for the car, so i was guessing about what button does what... I evidently have a issue with the control panel as the climate control system wont shut off.

on a 1988 560 sec none of the buttons seem to work and the blower stays on in the defrost windshield mode. a little air comes out of dash vents. does the freon level need to be fully charged before system will function properly?
@hudsoninbury
@hudsoninbury 6 жыл бұрын
I can say that the system should work as normal even if the gas is not in the system .. My air con had no gas in it for about five years as I had been incorrectly told it had to have the dash out to fix a leak in that area ... I used it all that time but without chilled air .. then I tried again with another garage who discovered where the leak was near the front of the car and after re gassing the system was good to go

The stereo is an Alpine unit and I had it fitted in 1998 ... it was designed to go into the Mercedes as the wood effect matched and the lights are the same colour as the lights in the car.... I do not think there is one like it being sold now, but perhaps a period one from Ebay may be okay if you can find one ..

if you push the temperature wheel to its hottest position it clicks - this keeps the heat on full without the thermostat affecting it and then the top button on the far right forces the fan to remain on at full constantly

not sure if I even understand what you mean - I still have this car and the controls all work exactly as I described.. They are all very logical and basically allow you to have a good selection of degrees of heat and cold air. The air con works well and though I have had one leak fixed and a compressor replaced, it still delivers cold air after 30 years. The degree of control of the fan speed is a little annoying as that has basically two options but frankly for a 30 year old automated system I think it was well designed and fairly well constructed. - perhaps you think differently - thanks for watching the video

Bambi, I'm sure you had your heat problem fixed by now since your post was from a year ago. However, if anyone has problems with just hot or cold air the most likely problem is the monovalve, see kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btCYg6iXsa-YZac.html
