Hi Guys. The a/c compressor on my 1988 300sl has suddenly develloped a nasty clattering sound when turned on. It was regassed a few months ago and hasn`t really been used since *untill a couple of weeks ago when at the Bromley Pageant Show this noise started. Taken in to my "trusted" MBZ specialist who said "yeah,they make that sort of noise"!. Hmmm,I thought,it never has done before! I happened to be near an a/c specialist in Woking and they took one look and said that the most likely and common problem is that when it was regassed by the garage they didn`t add the required oil. Who is right,a/c guy or my MBZ mechanic?
Any advise welcomed. Thanks, Nick
* I do turn on a/c regulary as good maintenance tip.
PS. The a/c is still producing nice cold air.
