Its frustrating. The new "rebuilt" compressor on my 500SL locked up after 4 years or so. I decided not to have it fixed again; its not really needed on a convertible and I only put about 1000 miles on it a year.

Bad clutch??
Q: Are all AC compressors/clutches created equal? Are aftermarket compressors/clutches, rebuilt? Took my 300 SD to a buddy of mine an indy in Memphis, TN., specializing in general BMW repair to R&R my AC compressor. He went with an Autozone compressor. He saved me a few hundred bucks, but it lasted one season. So much for cheap. I took it to an AC automotive shop in Dallas that specializes in AC only - best R&R AC I've ever had on the SD. One summer in Orlando may change your mind on no AC. |

If it is only leaking at the stepped port seals than it wouldn't be that complicated and I imagine would run in the $250-$400 range, with freon.
Cheaper if somebody does it themselves or knows somebody. W123 AC systems are very simplistic......

I just disconnected the compressor so it doesn't engage. The clutch works fine.

He should have asked before using some of Tyler's photos in his listing.

I gave him a call and chewed him out. He needs to take the photos I used down if he's going to do such a dishonest ad with the car, along with the ridiculous price.
This one is not 100% rust free. There was some around the trunk seal and just a hair bit of some from water damage in the trunk. He also denied to me that he was a flipper.
