I have been slowly trying to figure out how to make ice cold in my old cars. The r107 ate its compressor, but with the roof down, who cares anyway. I just wish the belt had not been hooked up, so that it tried to make the compressor function for the past five years. Probably would have been functional when I was ready to make the car have AC.
The two w126 have not had functional AC since they came to me. The SDL I was not sure it worked, but it was being winter. The SD came to me in mid-winter and had no belt to the compressor until this week. All the cars have had the vacuum applied and been sucked dry. The bigger question was do I go with new freezy, or keep the old tech? I decided that after finding I would need 1.5kg of goo per car, I went with the lowest cost option. No need to blow $30 or more per 8oz can on real R12. I went with the bottom feeder canned air option. I picked up two cases of duster from Costco. The can tapper arrived today along with the top tapper. Now I can hook up to the manifold and fill the system. I had wanted to use the real AC Delco 525 viscocity oil, but ended up with an ester in a can with R12. The system calls for 8oz of oil. I suspect the systems have some oil, so this stuff should be ok for initial top off of the system. Right now, the SD is being tested for holding vacuum over night. I will attempt the fill in the morning if it shows an airtight system. clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1986 SDL - Polei 1982 300 SD - Allen retired models- 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored crap 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers _______________________________________ http://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
