I, too, agree with lycoming-8. In fact, I only use my Yorkie on the highway; in-town, it's fresh air & windows down. I've toyed with the idea of changing to a Sanden and still use R12. My research tells me the bracket would be as ugly as sin, as it mounts to the existing bracket (2 for the price of 1). So if I can fabricate 1 single bracket, I might do the change. Does anyone know if the same idler pully could be used with going to a different size belt? This would be on an M110.

Today I will take pictures to see what you guys think. When my old mechanic looked at it, he said that the compressor had a 50/50 chance of being usable but he was sure it was still working, he also said all of my hoses looked good except for one that might give me trouble. But he was making a big scene about needing to change the oil in the compressor.

Everything else on it seems to work, I literally just need freon in there to test it out. I kind of know what to expect with loss of power, because in my 83 automatic 240D, I wouldn't doubt someone being able to run faster than me driving, I had semi's rushing by me because I was going so slow lol. I read somewhere that the York compressors can't handle highway speeds for a long period of time, is this true?

All of you who live in east cost states or places where it's cold, know how fortunate you are that you're there and not in a place that gets up to 120oF in summer. It's 90oF right now at 12:25 midnight. Ugh....

If you look at E-Bay, there is a seller in TX that has brackets and compressors for a Sanden conversion.
Tom

there is the one guy listing the brackets for the York to sanden compressor covering MB from 1960 t0 81.

there is another listing for a CD "Mercedes GM-R4 to Sanden Compressor up grade new CD" $19.95. he has the brackets and some reworked oil cooler lines to be rerouted. just have to send your old ones back to him.
seller is JJMAJD

either way will have to put money into it to do it right.

I don`t envy living in Palm Springs, that is one hot hole.

The Yorks are pretty durable, but tend to be rough and noisy. Make sure all the mounting hardware is present and secure. Especially the bracket that goes from the bottom of the comressor and bolts to the motor-mount arm's attachment studs at the engine block.
After so many years, the clutch-pulley bearing may need replacing, as well as the compressor shaft seal. Find a parts place that has an old Murray AC catalog if you need these parts. If you do need to remove the pulley and replace the beaing or shaft seal, and plan on sticking with R12, you might consider a larger compressor pulley assy, I've had good luck fitting a larger than stock compressor pulley on some small-engined / low power vehicles, so the engine isn't working so hard and runs cooler, at the expense of some AC performance at idle.
If your 220D has a working aux electric radiator fan, it may be possble to wire it, via a relay, so it comes on with the compressor, instead of waiting for the fan's temp-sensor on the AC receiver-drier, thus improving AC idle performance a bit.

Happy Motoring, Mark
