I’m planning a mini refurb of a 190E factory a/c system (not diavia). I bought a new mahle dryer and annoyingly it came with no seals. Also I’m going to change the expansion valve and all other hose seals I can get to.

Does anyone know what size seals are used or how I could find out?

I bet if I buy one of those generic seal kits none will fit!

Cheers!

A while I got a set from the MB parts counter. It was't scary cost, but more than seals should cost.
T'other choice is to buy an 'o' ring kit off eBay and select each correct 'o' ring from that.

Thx I was looking at those kits but still want to find the size so know it is actually included. And avoid nightmare scenario of fitting slightly incorrect O-rings = leak, pay to recharge twice etc… which would be just my luck!

Maybe the dryer was supposed to come with o-rings, even oil filters do.
