The late 126s are a REAL bear due to that extra crash bar/dash support RIGHT in the way. I mean, RIGHT in the way. I just do not trust 20 year old o-rings.
The dealer even diagnosed my 300SEL as 'bad evap core' to the PO before I purchased it... all that was the matter were bad o-rings.
I would agree with David. I have a slow leak on my low side schrader valve so I am going to visit him pretty soon. I do not have time to hunt down a recovery machine plus it is summer so everyone is going to want $$$$$$$ for them.
Not to mention it is silly wasting R12.
