On that car it may not matter too much. I did some research on the W210 and they are very finicky if you don't put in exactly 2.2 pounds (1kg) of refrigerant. That is almost 36 oz. If it's working as designed, I probably wouldn't mess with it. That's an R134a car, correct? I wonder if they changed the condenser design for the facelift model years?

Is that what should be in it no matter what? That is, when I’ve charged it in the past I can put 24 ounces (two cans) of refrigerant in it, get correct pressures and vent temperatures, and it seems perfectly happy. Should I put the 2.3 pounds in it anyway? If I do, how will that affect performance? Or does it even matter if the system is working properly with a lower charge?
