Hi
I bought a very clean 1981 240D 4speed Manual two weeks ago and it was running fine until the A/C quit yesterday. Sudden death - it was working fine the day before and now the compressor does not switch on. Fan and everything else works fine, it just seems like whatever tells the compressor to switch on is not working. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Its pretty hot in California this time of year!!! [V][8D]

I agree with them, better check the refrigerant first, you can bridge the to cables on the filter drier tank, there are two sensors in it, one is the aux. fan, if you bridge this the fan will work, the other one if bridge the fan clutch should engage. if not maybe you have a proble with the temperatue sensor in the evaporator.
