Condenser? I think you mean compressor. The condenser is an array of finned pipes. The compressor is a mechanical device that has a pulley with a belt-drive. They are connected, related. Via the KLIMA relay. The KLIMA is like the government - it has fingers in lots of places. It watches engine RPM, compressor RPM, and other stuff. The intent is that it will shutdown the AC system if there serious trouble and so might save a compressor. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
