OK, so it seems all is OK. Who can I talk to for help with my Mercedes hypochondria? I can't seem to locate that in the DIY links and resources.

59° after 30 minutes (even in a 126) indicates that something is wrong, IMO... overcharge, undercharge, lack of airflow at condenser, something. That's worse than expected even from an R-12 to R-134a conversion. One of my old W123's (which should have had basically the same AC system) was converted to 134a and that got into the mid-40's at the ducts with ambients near 100F. I'd ditch the 134 and try a blend like ES-12a (or similar), which should perform much better, and at a reasonable cost... |

Remember the ambient............100°F. A 40°F. differential is the generally accepted limit for this system (with a 10 year old compressor, but close to full charge of R-134). If we expected 100°F. on a daily basis, I'd switch it back to R-12 or use propane. |

The temp differential you mention assumes that the inlet air is equal to the ambient, which is rarely the case, unless your main air flaps are not working. |

I need to understand the function of the recirc on the W126 and confirm if it is doing the job. I'd love to see 50° vent temps at 100° ambients............!! |

That's interesting....I didn't know that. Any idea what the conditions are for automatic triggering of recirc?

The second generation has a switch on the panel to select recirculation. I need to test this to determine if it's effective. |
