2003 C230 Kompressor AC Compressor Replacement - Replace Condenser too?
I just bought a project C230 Kompressor coupe. It has one glaring defect: The AC compressor is shot. The system won't even hold a vacuum. Here's a video of it running:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV_sQHiO6mA&feature=youtu.be I'm going to replace the Compressor, Expansion Valve and Drier, but should I replace the Condenser too? I've read that they can't be flushed properly. I'm also going to check the alternator pulley while it is apart. I've read that a bad clutch on that can cause the compressor to fail. Thanks, Tad

You'll probably have to replace it when the threads on the drier come out all ****ed up anyway.
