The C-class A/C compressor is the BEST that MB has used. Very few failures due to the fact that it always runs. IT is a variable displacement compressor, so instead of turning on & off, the pressure determines the travel of the pistons. MUCH better than all other models as far as replacement percentage is concerned.
