AC on a 99 E 320
Replaced the AC compressor, drier, expansion valve and pressure switch. Took awhile would never had been able to do any of it except for this site.
Had the system bled out and there e was not much refrigerant in the system.
Then took off everything on the wiper / water catch system cleaned a million leaves out. Flushed the system, doing the evaporator and the condenser as well as the lines. Replaced the expansion valve and repaired some of the wiring in the trough area below the windshield. Took off the compressor (a chore on its own) remounted the new one and then completed the drier, (the pressure switch had not arrived). Vacuum checked the system and then reassembled the wipers and the lower body kit. All in all it took about 8 solid hours and a lot of prep work. Once the pressure switch arrives I'll charge the system with R134a and it should be nice and cool again.
