Here's great fun for the whole family... So, last week I was whining about my mal-performing AC, and dumbshitedly assumed that my compressor was failing--WRONG! Turns out that Mr Cathey was correct, when he pointed out that my needle valve on the high side might be improperly seated. I was overcharged. Once I bled off some refrigerant, it began working nice and peachy--cool. Then, I augmented the effect by having my windows professionally tinted--also cool. Then...I launched into my pièce de résistance; I began to finally re-install an auxiliary fan(s), which I'd removed during the intercooler interlude--wouldn't fit anymore. I've been without for about 2.5 years--not smart. But wait, it gets even not-smarter... I ordered two little 9" SPAL units, along with various mounting options, including little nifty stainless pins that fit between the fins and hold the fans (they're fairly lightweight) right tightly up against the condenser. They're so cute and alluring, that I couldn't resist. By now, you've probably figured out what happened next, haven't you? Yes, that gut-wrenching hiss and steamy cloud followed my third exploratory poke. It's still venting as I type this... -- Casey __________________________________________ '87 300TD intercooler/propane/biodiesel '94 100CSQ Avant '90 90Q '89 Bluestar _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
