Smelly aircon

published

Hi,

Same issue, well known with a lot of models, even new GLE has several issues, 40 000 of them parked over the world and not being delivered with numerous build quality issues that has to be fixed first, production at factory in Alabama frozen at this time.

I know my SUV that I ordered for delivery 2020 has been delayed indefinitely.



My current car has smelly aircon, solved by replacing all aircon filters every year, does not smell anymore, have done 160 000km

Lovely cars but concerned about issues with the new one, possibly getting X5

Purchased in January 2021 at Mercedes-Benz Dealers.

GLE-Class W166 GLE 500 e (2016-2020)

Hi, from reading reviews here it seems that aircon issues are very common. My car 2018 GLE 500e Hybrid was all perfect until the aircon fan started making an awful sound. Took it in for a replacement fan which lasted maybe six weeks. Mercedes is now telling me that it has to make the sound as it cools the batteries and the electric motor . (Shame as I bought the car partly for its low road noise, now sounding like a diesel Ute ) Mercedes where we are is not at all interested in helping. My concerns are if I switch the aircon off it stops, but does that mean the battery will overheat now? Has anyone else experienced a similar problem or have a solution?
