I agree with your assessment of the search feature; sometimes the information I'm looking for is quite basic and should be readily available, and yet I come up empty handed, or it gives me links to posts with really obscure information that has nothing to do with my original search query...

As to some of the other replies, thanks for the information and links. It's always great to come across a 'new' website that I've never seen before...

Maybe someone that has a W126 that has had a/c problems could answer a question for me: what type of Freon was used in 1987 (R12, R22, something else?) and if you have to recharge the a/c, can it still be done (legal in California?) with OEM Freon, or is it a newer Freon that requires replacing the entire a/c system?
