Question
I have a mercedes 280 se 1979 and my climate control is acting up. When I warm up the car in the winter the heater will kick in ...but after driving and shuting off the car and starting it up again the climate control will always stay cold.  

Answer
Best guess:
#1. Auxiliary Water Pump failing after it warms up.
#2. Heater core plugged with sludge.
