Hi

I am wondering if its possible to fit the new late 2008 type compressor onto a 2007 model S500.
My local guy says yes but I know the clutch is different. I also remember when you carry out the telematic update you have to tick which type of compressor is installed.
Anyone have this issue?

Your Mercedes
970 Panamera Turbo; W221 S500L AMG Line, C215 CL500, W251 R350L AMG Line, plus several more now gone
I know that it's a 4-5 hour job to do on the 220 and 215, regardless of the part; I wonder if the 221 is much different?
