conditioning

I've been posting detailed progress about my W123 OEM restoration on Peach Parts I purchased my '84 300D knowing that the AC wasn't working. It hadn't worked in 5 years or more, around when R12 became impossible to procure. So naturally, when I pulled into Intocool's vehicle bay this...

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to switch the Air Conditioning On and Off, on a 2001 Mercedes E320 Cdi. I think you have to press the EC button, is this correct. Thank-you, Brian..

Hi all. My Benz has covered 413000 km and is starting to require a few parts! The air conditioning compressor and the under dash fan motor,any assistance will be highly appreciated thanks

Hi Guys, My a/c compressor seems to have packed up. Any guidance on this? I"ve searched the threads, and it seems like the compressor itself is fairly pricey. What I'm thinking is that it would be very easy to replace the compressor and not fix the problem, so I'm minded to take the...

I have a longish tale of woe on my S Class w221, 320 CDI. It's a 2006 car with 85k miles under it's belt. I had an issue about 18 months ago with the car. I had just been a 15 mile journey when the car stuttered and felt like it was about to stall, very shortly afterwards the air con started to...

Hi all, I can't remember my epc log on and the Russian site is not making sense to me. Can someone tell me the part numbers for the condenser and all the pipes coming off it please? My car is a Jan 94 SL500 It held gas for a week.. Took it back and dye coming from condenser but pipes...

The A/C compressor on my E200 is currently emitting a death rattle when A/C clutch is engaged. Can anyone help with a second hand replacement please? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, the air con appears no longer to work on my CLK. I assume its activated by turning the thumbwheel to the fully cold position and switching off the EC switch. Is this something that needs regular servicing, ie a recharge? I have seen some DIY kits on line in which case where do I attach...

Not sure which forum to put this in, so please move it if this is incorrect. We have just returned from a trip to the south coast in our new (to us) W210 E320 estate and half way home we heard a kind of clunky type noise, not loud, and the air con fans seemed to be pushing out less air. It ended...

Haven't used the air conditioning much over the winter, but now I have been using it and there is a residual musty unpleasant smell lingering - I have tried running it for a good period and blasting the air through the system, but the issue remains. All filters were changed ( I believe) during...

Do i need one. Since having the CLK i have had the air con running with no issues however the other day as it had warmed up a little i thought it would be nice to open the sun roof. As i was doing that i turned the air con off and after a few mins there was a stale damp kind of smell. Put...

hey guys back again with my little lady, Seem to be getting a bit of noise from the air conditioning pulley whenever its running. Originally thought it was coming from power steering pump but all fluids are topped up. When i turn off blowers completely the noise goes so im assuming thats my...

I am thinking of either having my 500sl air-con regassed or converted to R134 from the current R12 gas. Any recommendations which way to go? I believe that you cannot get R12 anymore but my understanding is that there are 'drop-in' gas's that work okay without any change to the current...

Bought a CL500 (216) 22k miles in June. Air con and climate control work fine till the combination of a hot day, a hot engine and a hot interior (parked in the sun) completely defeats the ac and the vented air is no cooler than outside. Not so easy to replicate this Summer but everyone now...

The last few hot days have shown that the A/C was not working very well as it has been taking up to 15 minutes to get the car to a comfortable temperature Deciding to get a re-gas I went to Kwik Fit in Salisbury for an 11:00 am appointment, things were running a little late but by 11:15 they...

Are these two valves highlighted in red the Air Con Valves? I have Starred what I think they are.

can someone advise what are the options when the air conditioning ceases to become effective - ie blow cold 1. turn it off 2. have it recharged 3. have a complete replacement unit fitted im no techie but am half aware that due to environmental issues some of the above may not be easy or...

The recent warmer weather should yield a decent MPG but this is tempered by the use of air conditioning. As a percentage, how much extra fuel is consumed when the air conditioning is used? TIA. Ringway.

Hello all forum members, not sure if I've posted in the right place but I just wanted to share an excellent a/c engineer's services. My 1991 560SEL suffered the usual nonsense from the previous owner about the a/c just needing regassing to magically come to life again. Against my better...
