Hi All, 1983 300D W123. I'm looking for a reliable source for a re-built A/C compressor, new Receiver Dryer etc to attempt a fix on my A/C. General question, is the A/C on this car a "normal" system, meaning do I HAVE to go to MB to have it properly diagnosed or should any good A/C shop be able to work on this beast. When I do finally find the leaks or whatever I am going to stick to R-12. The dealer I bought the car from recharged the system when I bought the car, but it is not working anymore. Dealer is an E-bay thief I'm afraid and I didn't perform research to the level I should have so going back to him isn't an option.
Thanks for any advise.
