My personal belief is that only the earliest W124 models had high failure rates of bad evaporators. I believe evap failures in later cars like yours are the exception, not the rule.

When I sold my 1993 300E a few years ago with about 165,000 miles, the evap was original, as was the entire a/c system. It had never even been recharged, and it still blew ice cold.
