Hello,
I am having an A/C cooling problem with my 1986 w201 190e 2.3-16v.
It cools for a while then goes warm. After it sits off for a while it will go cold again. Seems like the compressor is turning off once it has been on for a while.
First a few questions. It has been converted to R134. How many pounds or how much R134 should be put into the system from a vacuumed down system? Also how much oil and what type of oil? I have hear that is takes about 10% less R134 over the R12 original. I am thinking that th system maybe overcharged since freon got added since it was filled. It may have a very slow leak, but it may not have the correct freon charge in it now. I have a set of gauges, a vacuum pump, and access to R134 freon. I just havent worked much on my Mercedes AC systems. I was working fine last season. When it does blow cold it blows decently cold and the volume of air is fine. It needs the fan motor replaced, have a new one but not done yet, due to a squeal and it doesnt always turn at the lower speeds until I move it to max fan speed to get it moving.
