As suggested I cut the belt and found that the ac compressor did not turn by hand. The car started immediately..one problem solved! If the compressor is seized does that usually mean the freon is contaminated with metal fragments? Any further suggestions or tests are welcome. Bob

I had nothing but positive experiences with the MB Classic Center too! A few years ago I needed a small rubber grommet for the radiator on my 1983 300D. They not only took the time to locate it and email me pictures to verify the part was correct, they sent it FedEx (no charge). Bob Hawtho

2006-03-03 Thread RKMERCEDES
Hi, Lately the idle speed on my son's 1988 190E has been very erratic. It usually runs around 800 but for no reason sometimes goes as high as 2500 and gets stuck there. If the gas pedal is hit a couple of times it usually goes down to normal. Occasionally when hitting the gas peda
