The condenser and the aux. fan do not support the AC system in a manner that will get you any better.
BTW, I've had/have W123's with all the freons indicated above, with very sound AC components. It's just what these W123's do......  |
thats what I thought.
Maybe a bigger and faster aux fan would help. One that would pull less power too.
