Do not forget that you need barrier type hoses for the 134a stuff. I used the 134a before, and will not again. Higher pressures make more resistance in the turning of the compressor, sapping the already low powered engines. Turbo boost for me it shutting off the compressor while accelerating. Keep in mind this is on the OM617.952. Plus, in Texas, the 134a in the MB cooled well with ambient temps below 85 or at night. It was torture during 100 degree days with 134a in a system not designed for 134a.
