Yeah, summer is here with a vengeance.

My '98 E300 TD has a weird, intermittant climate control issue.

MOST times the AC will switch on directly the car is started.

HOWEVER,several times there has been a 5-7 minute delay of the AC blower after the car was re-started hot after sitting not more than 10 minutes,manual manipulation of the controls affected no change in this,I could FEEL cool air at the vents but no blower action,eventuall it will come on after I'm swimming in sweat.

As mentioned the blower works instantly when car is started from

cold.

Only had this car about a month,is there something I'm missing?

My guess is you have an intermittant blower, blower regulator, control panel, or circuitry. Its a simple circuit get a diagram and follow it.

First aquire a wiring diagram. My first choice would be www.startekinfo.com it costs so much per day so print all the diagrams you can. The other alternative is Alldata for one car.

... and as a good starter , I would pull the fuse for the blower and clean it up and re-install..
..just to get that possible out of the way.
