Hello Folks,
My 1999 W202 C220 CDI has a leak in its air con due to a crack in a pipe to the condenser. I am being advised by the garage to have the condenser together with tank replaced. With labour, recharge and gas etc. this obviously is a tidy outlay so I have to decide if its worthwhile investment. The car is at about 79000 miles with full MB history from new. However the previous owner was in the military and I don't know if the low mileage means the car was unused for periods while the chap concerned was away on service. So I am wondering whether the air-con system is in good shape.
Any opinions as to whether the outlay is worth it or not would be gratefully received. Anything to keep my cool..!
Thanks in advance.
