I was talking with Hit Man X earlier about the main air flap maybe not working properly. I tore into the area today and found that it stays shut no matter what mode I have it set for. I've yet to find my MityVac but when I do I'll confirm that the pods are dead.

So the question now is how much does defective pods diminish my cooling capacity? Is 56-58F at the center vents on low fan speed acceptable for a W126? I know that its not quite fair to compare the center vent reading on my 190E to the 420SEL because the 190E's evaporator is right on the other side of the center vents and the 420's is elsewhere.

I found this in the FSM that might be helpful for others:
