Not really. For that matter, I would probably try to find a modern double-pass condenser that would fit and make the system far more efficient, as well as change to a rotary (Sanden) compressor. The hoses would go to my industrial hose guy who would disassemble them (the fittings unscrew with minimal effort, the hose is just bulk AC hose) to be rebuilt using modern barrier-style hose material.
You can take these older systems and if you properly “tart them up” they can make ice cubes using R134a. I’ve done it in a W108 and in a W126. It was cheaper than using R12, and I think they’re more efficient with the upgrades/modifications. -D > On Jun 27, 2024, at 12:56 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Is the condenser matched or sized for the system in any critical way?
