Hi everyone, newbie with questions how original!
Just brought myself a W210 e300td. When i got it i put the air con on and it appeared to get slightly colder so i just put it down to a re gas.... Had it re gassed today and there was no leaks and it has been fully gassed and oiled up but it wasn't making any difference. It is only now i realize that where the air con compressor is supposed to kick in periodically and you hear the revs get higher, this doesn't happen. I called a specialist and he said it sounds electrical but i checked the fuses and they are fine. now it has to be wiring or compressor unless anyone has any other ideas? does anyone know a test i can do to see if it is either of these? The specialist started talking about running a feed from the battery to one of the top up pipes to see if the compressor kicks in??? anyone heard of this?

Help please.....

Thanks for reading,
Ben.

If you have the EC light on all of the time on the above cars, the cure is to replace the temperature sensor.

This sensor for the refrigerant leaks moisture so that incorrect values are transfered to the control module and air con is turned off.

Replace sensor

This is the only cure that I have
