New heating element? No power? It could be a thousand things.

I think i know ur problem it needs what is called a mono-valve a 50 dollar part that takes a shop an hour to put in. They fail often in the W126 i have had them replaced in both of mine and then the heat blows hot.

AMG-Heating element? Do you not know how these car's heaters work?
