Hi. I’ve got a 2017 314CDI uk RHD with an a/c issue. I tried to get it regassed but Halfords Autocentre said the compressor was kaput. I then got a local mobile ac specialist to have a look. He said the ‘nominal evaporator temp sensor’ is showing 2degrees (and isn’t open circuit) yet the ‘evaporator temp sensor’ is 30 degrees, the latter is the correct ambient temp. The compressor has gas but isn’t switching on. My MB dealer can only find one evap temp sensor on the parts diagram but the ac engineer’s system diagnosed two as mentioned above. I’ve tried to get to an evaporator sensor (see pics) but can’t see one so far. Any advice much appreciated on the issue or where to find the sensor(s). Cheers, Adriano
