Charging A/C system..

Dear Forum:

- I have replaced the evaporator/compressor/dryer on my 1995 wagon E320. Yes, I filled the correct amount of oil into the system - See long thread A/C oil...

- Now the system was evacuated for 8 hours.

- How do I fill the system...

Here is how I planned to do it...

- I got 3 cans of R134a total of 1020 grams close enough to the 1000 grams (1 Kg - 2.2 lbs) needed.

- Connect a can fill device (hose with valve) to the low pressure side and let all three cans in... without breaking the vacuum.

- Turn the compressor a couple of times

- Start the engine and engage the compressor

- Measure the temperature at the outlet (5 deg C0

This is pretty much how I read the manual....

Any objections or tips appreciated...

Thanks...
