				RPM for AC Charging
			 
			
			The W124 has a very slow AC leak.  I add refrigerant once or twice a year and am happy to continue to do that. My method has always to charge with AC on, max cool, max fan, and engine idling and then charge till the pressure is in the green range. However I noticed a few folks recently say that engine ought to be at 2000 rpm for charging. Poking my nose around I see a wide range of opinions. Happy for any insights anyone has. Perhaps engine speed doesn't matter a whole lot.
