Re: [MBZ] AC Compressors

Sounds like a sure recipe for disaster. Or at least it would be if I was to do the welding. That's why I was wondering about the swap idea. I've never even seen a 603/Nippondenso mount. I have seen pictures of an aluminum mount that was on some MB that someone had put on a 617 that looked like

Re: [MBZ] AC Compressors

Yes two different ones or there were, haven't looked it up in about a year now but last info I saw still had problems with cracking in the mount. That's why I figured that an MB original would be designed right and work without problems. Curley McLain via Mercedes wrote: Isn't there a conversi

Re: [MBZ] AC Compressors

It's basically the same thing as the using that aftermarket kit to put in a Sanden compressor except I'm not too impressed with the quality of those kits. They still seem to have unresolved problems. I figure if the mount for the Nippondenso bolts onto a 617 then all I have to do is use the hos

Yeah, I can't believe I forgot to check them. I was going down the list of suppliers I use and I totally forgot them. Thanks for reminding me. And yes, replacing the expansion valve on a W126 is a real PITA, so I've heard. There are some good DIYs for it on Benzworld. According to some, removin

Yes, I did. I had a 5% discount that expired today, thankfully, so the combination of compressor, expansion valve, receiver/dryer and O ring kit cost me under $250 with shipping. Will do. I’m not going to tear into this until next weekend after the youngest boy leaves town. He’s driving the
