Heater blowing cold air in my E240 MERC 2003?

There are several possible reasons why the heater in your E240 MERC 2003 is blowing cold air. Here are a few things you can check:

1. Low coolant level: If the coolant level is low, the heater core will not be able to get enough hot coolant to heat the air. Check the coolant level in the overflow tank and add more if necessary.

2. Faulty thermostat: A faulty thermostat can prevent the engine from reaching its proper operating temperature, which will also prevent the heater from working properly. Check the thermostat and replace it if necessary.

3. Blocked heater core: The heater core can become blocked with debris, such as leaves or dirt, which will prevent the hot coolant from circulating through the core and heating the air. Try flushing the heater core with a garden hose to remove any blockages.

4. Faulty heater control valve: The heater control valve regulates the flow of hot coolant to the heater core. If the valve is faulty, it may not be allowing enough coolant to flow through the core, which will result in cold air coming from the heater. Check the heater control valve and replace it if necessary.

5. Faulty blower motor: The blower motor is responsible for blowing the air from the heater core into the cabin. If the blower motor is faulty, it may not be able to circulate enough air, which will result in cold air coming from the vents. Check the blower motor and replace it if necessary.

If you have checked all of these things and you are still experiencing problems with your heater, you should take your car to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
