Hi,

I when it rains the footwell leaks on my Merc. I have checked window seals etc and think its is a similar problem that my old merc had where the heater air intake gets bunged up with leaves and had to unblock it but ive run into a problem with this one.

When i up the bonnet and go to where the heater air intake is on my old merc i could put my hand in there and take the leaves out and then use a screw driver to unblock the hole. On this one there is what appears to be radiator as I can see fins in there and i cant get to the hole to unblock it. How would i go about doing this please? and any ideas what that is in there?

Kind Regards

Joe
