The compressor for my 250 is sitting in a cabinet. It's been there for about a year. No worries, and now my alternator is a lot easier to get to. I took the compressor off my 240D once, but for reasons I don't remember, I put it back on.

By the way I have the compressor on the driver's side, not the york. What about the condenser and the hoses? Don't I at least need to plug the hoses, and how would I do that?

Ha.. Ha.. That gave me a little morning chuckle with my coffee!

I would cap the lines. You never know.... You may wind up repairing it one day. It the very least it would make it easier for someone some day to put it all back together.

One last question... there is no advantage to taking the condenser out? Thanks for the help
