W221 s class 2006 air con condenser removal

[G style]

Hi all,
Can I ask if anyone has replaced a air con condenser on a 2006 320cdi s class?
Or if anyone has any info on removal and replacement? Ideally the wis manual pages if anyone has them. I have the car in a few bits and don't really want to remove the hole rad system up front and was hoping I could just remove stuff from the front and remove the air condenser from there and put a new one in and bolt it all back up. If its gonna be alot more involved than that I mite have to bit the bullet and book it in a garage.
Thanks in advance al

a well regarded indy did mine... and didn't assemble it that nicely, they then said one bolt they never refit...

I think that was code for, we cut one bolt, so we can do the job at an affordable price - if you completely rip the car apart to do exactly as built I think you pay another 5 hrs labour... it hasn't had an issue since.. and even so Merc built with one pipe trying to chaff itself on the bottom pulley - so I had to tie that back afterwards or it would have been to the normal badly made std it left the original building with... I don't know which bolt they did fit

Hi Botus,
