Working on a W123 AC has to be one of the most difficult and frustrating task. It has parts all over the car, many in difficult to access places, requires special tools and knowledge.

I am nearing the end and we'll see if I will be successful. Most of my parts are here, o-rings, schrader valves, PAO 68 oil, TXV, receiver dryer. Still waiting for the compressor step washers, hope they are the right ones. I am re-using the old compressor, hoses, evaporator, condenser which I have tested to be all good. We shall see.
