W124 diavia a/c

[krimat2005]

Hi all, my W124 has a Diavia a/c system fitted, it was all working fine until a leak in condenser. I know Reader Airconditioning used to supply parts for Diavia, but not anymore . so my question is can I get someone who will fit different condenser, say Oem type and is it possible? I know it will need new pipes in that case. Does anyone know someone in sussex who could do it? Any estimate costs? As my car is black (040) with black leather I would like to have it running.

Try Ifield Air Conditioning > Sussex based Car Air Con Servicing & re-gas. Very helpful guy who knows a lot about aircon of all types. He will probbaly know what can be done.

Haynes in Worthing might be able to help. I believe the compressors for these things are mega expensive, hence my a/c doesn't work!

Compressors and condensors aren't particularly expensive and any competent a/c engineer can fit one and have you up and running in a couple of hours. I recommend fitting a new receiver/drier at the same time

I have a good local mobile guy who does my a/c work. I order the parts & he fits them. These cars have really simple systems

Would it be cheeky to ask for a contact number (I'm quite local)? I'll pm thanks
