Plugged condensate drain. On the W123, the hose is dead center over the tranny, a real pain to reach, just about where your knee is driving. Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts

Re: [MBZ] windshield misting over after A/C shutdown ('85 300D)

hi Barry! (first; no "ernie" here,... ;-) ) i'm familiar with the conditions that lead to condensation; in case i wasn't clear enough earlier, we're talking a relatively new occurrence in this car that goes far beyond mere normal condensation. the buildup is enough that you can't see

Re: [MBZ] windshield misting over after A/C shutdown ('85 300D)

hi Peter! sorry if i wasn't clear enough; this isn't occurring when i shut the engine off, but only after i shut the A/C off while the car is still running, and it isn't specific to any type of weather. (not that we're likely to have cool damp weather where i'd have the A/C on here in the

Re: [MBZ] windshield misting over after A/C shutdown ('85 300D)

Ernie - Consider this...you have warm moist air inside your car. When it gets near something cold, the moisture in the air changes state from a gas, water vapor, to a liquid, water. You have seen this on the outside of a glass of ice water. If the warm air inside the car is circulated through the

Re: [MBZ] windshield misting over after A/C shutdown ('85 300D)

Pretty much normal in summer -- when the engine is shut off, the monovalve goes open, allowing hot coolant to circulate through the heater core as the engine cools. in cool, damp weather (summer evenings in particular), the windshield will be cool enough that the condensation evaporated by the
