So this summer I am going to redo my 300D AC which is kinda "luke-cold" Trouble is is I think North American cars got AC as a retrofit because in Europe, humidity is not a big thing. Just how cold were 300D's off of the assembly line?

Averaged across twenty new W123 chassis:
38F - 42F
A very good technician can get a perfect W123 R12 system down to 34F without slugging the compressor.
Last year my 300SD was reading output air at 33F.
The compressor clutch failed last week, after only 272000 miles.
Have a great day.
