Hello at the moment I have been trying to get these problems fixed with the car that I bought as a project. (1997 C230 Benz)



I have went to the following ideas for the solutions

1. 0018303484 - AC & Heater Control Valve; Dual Circuit for Climate Control

I have got the part for this but never installed it yet, as I'm not sure how to do so.

2. 1112000915 - Thermostat; 87 Degree C; Kit with Housing and Seal

I have never bought one for the car since I bought it, But the car does not over heat or anything like that.

3. I have already had the "Heater Core" Replaced.
4. I have already had the "AC Compressor" Replaced.
5. I have also had the "AC Condenser" Replaced.

I have recently found out about a AC Leak from the hose in the picture above. (When trying to get the AC Recharge.) They used some Scanner to trace the source of the AC Leak and that image above shows which hose it is, but I'm unsure which hose it is.

I went on some website's to try and find with part it is.

The part number I got was "2028304915"
AC Hose Assembly; Condenser to Receiver Drier




But I'm not sure if this is correct or how much it is the get this replace or fixed.


Some shops said that my "AC/Heater Control Switch" was bad, I'm not sure where to go from here and I'm really at a lost..


I can tell you that the AIR does turn on when I use the "Control Switch".


But anyway if anyone could help me please let me know where to go from here.
