On my 1997 C36 AMG, I had some kind of a freak incident two years ago that put a screwdriver-shaped hole through the condenser. The authorized dealer that had been performing all service on my car up until that time could not provide a satisfactory answer as to how this could have happened. The car was still under the Starmark warranty, so I had an independent shop replace the condenser with factory parts at my own expense in order to preserve the warranty. Last Fall, the compressor began making a growling noise that would come and go, but I ignored it.
