The flap for the center vent is buried in the air box and would require taking the dash off to access it. Check this out. I would definitely NOT do the first option you mentioned. Yikes! The second option would be a lot easier - disconnect the hose from valve 4, cap valve 4, run a new line from the hose to a tee on the white supply line.
Sometimes. It's more of a problem without the mod because if a passenger is colder than you, cranking up the heat will heat up the footwell compartment pretty quick. With the mod, I can just shut off the footwell vents and direct the center vents towards the passenger. |
Thanks. I wont do anything drastic  I'll try the drill method on a parts car first. #2 will be good enough until the vacuum pod breaks. I have a crack free dash in parts car to try out one day. Hopefully i'll remember to pull that center flap before i install.
I do love the switch. What a great option to have. Man that Euro W124 climate control panel is beautiful. MB realized that in US a lot of rich people wil pay thousands of dollars a year fixing little **** on their cars and exploit that fact. Our local MB Indy is rich rich. MBs are cash cows for him.
