Converting to current A/C refrigerant
I'm tired of adding $100+ of freon every year to my 1980 240D. To convert to the new stuff I have been given quotes of $1200-$1600 by A/C shops. Looks like I can get all the parts necessary for about $400 from Performance (including new compressor).
Where can I get detailed instructions as to what to do? It would also be nice to have a diagram. (I'll be damned if I can find the expansion valve.) Has anyone done this conversion that can supply some input as to ease, pitfalls, etc.? Thanks, Ed |

Fixing the leak means replacing the compressor which comprises 75% of the cost of the parts needed for conversion.
Conversion parts include: Compressor ($288.00) Receiver dryer Expansion valve Pressure switch |

If it is the old style york compressor ( up top on left) dont bother it wont cool. Now if you have an r4 ( bottom right) you will be ok. Make sure to add pag oil only to the compressor and change reciever drier. Use a 15-20% less charge of 134a than it takes r12. When doing a conversion we usually change e-valve and condensor if the car has experienced a black death ( compressor lock up) . Good luck
