HEATING & VENTILATION W113 MERCEDES SL
The heating system in a W113 Mercedes SL houses a single fan motor with twin impellers, sucking air through the heater matrix then feeding the plenum chamber inside the cabin. From there, hot air can be ducted to the windscreen demister vents atop the dashboard and the footwells, with driver and passenger having independent temperature controls. In a ‘quirk’ of design, it is only the left side (German driver’s side) control that manipulates the flow of hot water to the heat exchanger, meaning the passenger's cabin vents can never exceed the air temperature of the drivers. This function was not reversed for right-hand drive variants of the SL, giving your passenger the final say!
The fresh air in the cabin of your W113 Mercedes SL is fed from the air intake above the bonnet, through a sponge pollen filter before being fed to the vehicle's occupants via the chrome vents at either end of the dashboard. The blower motor on a W113 Mercedes SL is controlled by a rotary speed switch on the dashboard, with speed one having variable control, before clicking to fixed speeds two and three for faster airflow.
