My 2011 E350 has cooling fan on high speed all the time making a loud noise. After diagnosis by a mechanic, I was told that I need to replace the faulty a/c pressure switch.
Here is some information I received.
MB fault: B107A15 Refrigerant pressure sensor malfunction- open/shorted.
A/C pressure switch 211 000 02 83
When I searched for DIY replacement, it seems that the switch is located underneath a/c condenser and under front bumper area.
A question I have is whether I need to drain the refrigerant or not. If I need to do, it seems I have to take the car to the mechanic who has the equipment. Some say I don't need to do anything but just replace the switch, which would be much easier.
When I asked for the estimate, the job turned out over $400.
A new a/c pressure switch is only $56 from FCP Euro.
Any advices are appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Luke
