That is why I think you should tell us where it is so we can get on it and you will not have to worry about AC. On mine, I removed all the AC parts under the hood. I have a new car if I wish to have AC for the 75 days a year when we really appreaciate the feature here in God's Country. On a 240D with original engine you have about 85HP to work with, and AC will pull off 25hp. Doesn't leave you with much, especially when you put that little retard car in 4th gear. Where did you say the car was?

My 81 had 122k original miles when I bought it.[it sat for the last 10 years and got about 500 miles a year]. I didn't even check if the AC worked, just cut the belt off the compressor, rolled down the windows, cranked open the sunroof and motored on.
