I have an '02 CL500 and was advised by the service mgr that the evaporator can be a problem with these cars (S model uses the same part no.) and repair is around $8,000 to replace one due to dash removal. Can anyone who has owned these cars tell me if they have had their's go out? Just wondering if I should keep this car with the likelyhood of the evap. problem.

I had a S600 and the evaporator sprung a leak.. Dealer wanted 5,000.00 to change it out. I put a 32.00 bottle of leak sealer made by Dura-Cool in it and was still working when I traded it off 2 yrs later..

Good to know...thanks

I also used this product with great results. It wasn't on an MB but a 1994 Chrysler LHS. This was the first year for r134a refrigerant and while the A/C worked OK it didn't exactly freeze you out. So when it started leaking I went the whole nine yards and converted it to the Dura-cool refrigerant as well as the leak sealer. I owned the car another 4 years, then sold it to my mechanic last year. It's still working and is the coldest A/C I've ever had.

I also put the refrigerant in my '89 300SE with excellent results, a big improvement over the r134a that was in it when I bought it. Highly recommended product.
