Once I get my 190E engine back together, I will be troubleshooting almost the same thing. I get very hot air out of the lower, window and side vents all the time. The center blows only cooler air. This is even with the A/C on. The heat control makes no difference.

I seem to get some kind of mix in the center vent. I can tell that there is a spot where cool air is and where hot air is.

Is my problem the same valve?
