The condenser on my 380sl is leaking, and I have to replace it. So I was wondering whether there's a big difference between the cooling capacity of the OE condenser and the newer aluminum units.

A company near me showed me an aluminum Silla that I can buy for around $100, but it is about 1/2 the thickness and weight of my condenser. However, the guy's telling me that its cooling capacity is as good, if not better than the OE.

Is that true, possible, or wrong?

Thanks in advance for the info.

Well, maybe it is a parallel flow unit?

As I recall the systems are not that strong in the 107s, so since the system is down... upgrade the best you can.

Did MB update the systems on the 107s like the 126 and 123s? If so, go after all factory updates you can. Or splurge for custom stuff that really cools well.
