Wow. Someone must have peed in your coffee cup this morning.

Pointeless argument. I have 37°F in the vent. Regardless of who you side with in theory, the results speak for themselves.

I just shared what worked for me. I am sincerely sorry I didn't ask you for your blessing first.

Hmmmm....Not in the W116 manual, and not in a few other MBZ manuals I have here.

Since you dismiss anything anyone other than yourself states, I will simply direct your attention to he MBZ publication:

Section 85-314 in the W116 CC II Manual States: "Fill until refrigerant flows free of bubbles past the sightglass in the receiver drier..."

Please write to MBUSA and tell them they are wrong.

LOL!!!!

The same luck that your local MBZ techs rely on!!! Have you ever worked in a flat-rate shop????

I hope your day gets better....Robert
