A strange issue happened recently. I noticed last month during one of those hot 28º days that the aircon didn't seem very cold. Time for a re-gass I thought, as it had been 2 years since it was last done. So when the car was going into the dealership for another issue I asked them to check if it...
The bearing in my compressor has failed - the compressor is making a grinding noise. Interestingly., the noise stops when the aircon is switched ON, but the noise appears when the aircon is OFF. I have sourced a second-hand replacement compressor from eBay for £80, and have a mobile mechanic...
I'm looking to get hold of a second-hand aircon compressor, but cannot find anywhere online that will tell me the correct part numbers.
Is there any online sites where I can enter my Regno and find which part numbers are suitable for my vehicle?

I own a W447 for about two months now. I recently changed the Audio 15 into an Android head unit and is working great. I love the streaming part. Since it has been build in, I've noticed the interior...
I bought a '93 320CE which had been sitting around and had a gunked-up cooling system (the heating wasn't working and the car got very hot) and I had the whole thing flushed around Christmas. It worked fine for a while then started heating up again until I replaced the fan viscous clutch. Now...
My E350 wagon has a refrigerant leak. Car had been sat for some time (on sales forecourts) and the engineer thinks it's the compressor seals, as it fills and holds pressure happily but loses it as soon as the compressor runs. Even under UV, he can't see a visible leak anywhere.
I'm thinking of...
Hi, the aircon on my car (facelift model) ceased to cool and I also noticed that the cooling fan was running all the time even though the engine temperature was OK. Local non-Mercedes garage refilled the aircon but it still didnt work even after a second attempt. They think it might be...

After several replacement compressors (under warrenty) there is a huge whine/drone sound coming up thru the steering column which can be felt on the steering wheel from idle to around 2000rpm. The video above was taken today.
Anyone have any ideas of what could...
Hi,
I am looking for some help in identifying the cause of a whistle in the passenger footwell (RHD car). It is related to the aircon as it only occurs when the a/c is on and stops immediately when the a/c is switched off.
The car is a C250TD w202 estate.
The whistle starts when the...

Now its winter and its the opposite, it wont blow even remotely hot. I finally got it...
Hi all,
I'm having trouble with 2x dealers regarding a warranty repair to my AU CL500 with T1 warranty.
To cut a long story short;
-Dealer C services car back in February (B service)
-Recently, aircon stops working (stuck in AC OFF mode)
-2 weeks ago, Dealer D changes condenser and a...
Hello,
Would changing the air conditioning pressure switch, part number A1248208310 mean opening the 'closed system' and loosing gas?
I ask as I'd like to change this switch and suspect its an easy think to do, and just want to check with the experts.
With best,
I have an intermittent problem that is driving me nuts. With increasingly frequency my wife's e320 when started has no speedo display, no air con, no direction indicator function or display, no electric window function. All other displays on the central console e.g. air temperature work fine...
I have a problem with my CLK320 aircon in that, for about five weeks now, I have been getting no air from the vents/outlets. It doesn't matter whether the A/C is on or off, or whether it's on Manual or Auto. The fan runs fine, but there is virtually no air exiting - UNLESS the Recirc button is...
