[W126 Coupe] [w126 coupe] condensation from the tubes attached to the vents?

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Yousef,

That's the ETR valve for the AC.  It's perfectly normal to see 
condensate on that metal housing once the foam cover has been removed.

Place a piece of tight cell foam over it when dry and place a dab of 
silicone adhesive on its face to hold the foam in place.  Try and 
surround the whole valve as was originally done with the apparently 
missing piece of MB foam.

The foam will act as an insulator and you will no longer see condensate 
dripping from the valve.
