My mechanic had to install the 134A fittings.
He said it was R12.
What can I say now?
Like I say, I trust him as much as any of the others I talked to.
And good comments on him from a couple of people I respect quite a bit.
And also from people I wouldn't know from Adam...
Yes, I thought to discuss the flushing process with him.
Thanks a lot for the discussion, fellers.
And, yes really, no leaks that amount to anything. Fuel lines starting to break down, sweating diesel, and a couple of small oozers, but nothing that drips or makes it to the ground, which is make or break for a home sales vehicle.
I really do like this car a lot. Got to get Sweet Thang to drive it for a bit and see if she doesn't want a 300d, 240d, 300cd, or whatever comes by. That will be spendy, because it will have to be a sweet car for my sweetie...

How NOT to buy a MB Diesel:
Know little or nothing about diesels or Mercedes Benz.
Get the WVO fever.
Drive 70 miles to a used car lot in the country.
Buy the car without having it inspected, because it seems like a good idea at the time....
I'll be back. I'm gonna need help.
I love this car already!
