AC Condenser for S65AMG W221?

[Sam87]

Hi everyone,

I recharged the ac recently on my S65AMG W221 but it has leaked out. I removed the engine covers and noticed that the ac condenser is wet. Mercedes said its nearly £850 for the condenser and there is no date when they can get it from Germany so it could take months like the shock absorber did.

Are the condensers the same size for all S classes w221? Any other places you guys suggest I order it from?

Has anyone changed the condenser before on an S class? How difficult was it?

Any advise would be appreciated

It has to be someone who has an F gas qualification to handle anything to do with air conditioning

No, specific to the 65.

I have modified a 600 one to fit, but it's a lot of work and not a perfect solution.

AC still works though
