Good day all,
I wonder if anyone here is clued up with the air con systems. The "EC" light was on inside the car and would not switch off, after reading the manual this means it is low on gas. I took the car to a local air con specialist who drained off the remaining gas, cleaned the system then regassed it but the light still will not go out inside the car which means that the air con unit will not run. Does anyone know how to reset the switch so that the air con can be enabled again. PS. Mercedes charge £160 to regas a system whereas the local specialist charges £50! It is just that he is unaware how to reset the light. PLEASE HELP ASAP.. IT IS VERY HOT HERE AT THE MOMENT! ![]() Thank you, Mike. |

Your system probably has a fault to it. If you have the fancy AC there are actual values on the display. If you don't have a display, you will have to see someone with a diagnostic computer to talk to the control head and see what it thinks is wrong.

Could it not just be the sensor? Sounds just like the situation I had. See 210 chassis climate control problem

Of course it could, that is why one would look at the actual values and see who the liar is.

The service bulletin basically says to change the sensor as a first step in any case doesn't it?
BTW, thanks again for your help with my problem way back when. ![]() Len |

Isn't this one still under warranty?
