Marshall,
As usual this is helpful. I have been looking at some 201's with AC issues.
How expensive is the Nippondenso compressor unit? I always think a grand. Is
that close?

Dieselvolk,
I'm going to look at a '86 190D, 250,000, which does not have working AC.
I'm not scared of compressor issues, leaking hoses, etc., but I really
don't want to have to replace an evaporator or do anything under the
dash.
Any thoughts from the gurus on most likely suspect for AC with doesn't
blow cold? I'm just looking for some ideas on the likely hood of various
malodies, such as leaking evaporators to bad solder joints in the PB
unit.
201 evaporators almost NEVER fail. If they do, they are replaced from
the engine side - pretty easy compared to E and S class cars (pull the
wiper mechanism and blower assembly and that allows you to change the
evaporator). A Nippendenso compressor (the shaft seal is probably what
has failed) IS expensive.
