Hi guys!

Hope you had a merry x-mas.

There are some issues on my E 320 CDI T, W210, model 5/2001, which I hope to get some help for here....

1.) the cars smells like Diesel on the outside, even if parked 2 days and nights. There is almost no smell inside and no diesel is leaking on the street.
The performance of the car is o.k., the gas consumption is about 9-12 litres diesel / 100km.

2.) The heater does not pour air out of the two outlets in the midle of the dashboard and at the lower outlets for the feet. No cold and no hot air.
The heater works as the two outlets at left and right on the dash pour hot and cold air as they should.
I guess there are some air-guides stuck in the dashboard.
Do you have an idea how to fix this? Is this a typical problem with these 210 models?

The car stood at the dealership for 18 month before I bought it. Maybe this info is of help.
I tried to adjust the outlet position manually with the possibilities the automatic ac controller gives me, but nothing was changing.

The rest of the car works perfectly, the mileage is 60.000 Km and the general condition is 2. So it is not a worn out pice of junk.

The car is equipped with an automatic air condition and a normal CD player (not manual, no command).

Maybe you got an idea for me as it is pretty cold here in southern Germany at the moment and I would like to warm up my feet a bit....

Thanks a lot in advance and kind regards!

Mathias
