My A/C doesn't work. The compressor does not turn.

1. I was thinking a Denso rebuild kit could fix the compressor issue?
2. What other parts should be purchased to fully service?

I will have a shop recharge the system once it's all together.

I bot a Denso compressor too. Haven't installed it yet, but my research told me Denso was OEM. Am I right guys? You'll want to replace your receiver/drier too. Hopefully someone will chime in with some other suggestions.

For the most part, a stuck compressor isn't rebuildable due to wear of metal parts. Did you price a new compressor yet? For my 97 C280 I think a new Denso with clutch was $ 225 or so.

There will likely be metal flakes through the system if the compressor stuck. You will need to replace the expansion valve and flush all metal out of the system.

Denso is OE on my SL and C.

Yes Denso was the OE in the 1994. Thank you for the info on flushing the system to remove any metal left from the dead compressor.

So i'm looking at these parts:
1. Compressor
2. Drier
3. what about the switches, hi/lo?

and procedure:
1. remove old components
2. Flush system
3. Install new parts
4. Charge system (at a shop)

Sound about right?

Yeah forgot about the hi lo switches for the drier. My parts guy at the dealer, very knowledgeable, knows his stuff, seen it all.....says to get those too.
