Re: [MBZ] W149 Evaporator Leak
This is the stuff I used: http://www.cliplight.com/automotive/super-seal-additives/super-seal-premium/ It came highly recommended by a number of people over on Benzworld, one of which lives over in St. Pete. I spoke to him at length about his experience, as well as calling and speaking with one of their support people (an engineer, not a call center person) about the process and expectations for what it would and wouldn't do. They were very helpful. I paid around $40 on Amazon for a can. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Re: [MBZ] W149 Evaporator Leak
Thanks Dan. My 124 AC leak will need attention in the spring if not sooner. .

Re: [MBZ] W149 Evaporator Leak
Yes, I thought about that. I'm taking a so far, so good approach. Absolute worst case scenario if it goes south is that it stays cool for a few more weeks until our winter kicks in. Then there's no pressure to get it done. Dan On Oct 10, 2014, at 5:18 PM, Randy Bennell rbenn...@bennell.ca wrote: Careful. You know you are tempting the gods.

Dan, Remind me what leak sealer did you use? My 124 300D has a bad leak somewhere in AC system. Thx.
