I doubt it will make you feel any better, but the exact same thing happened to me when I owned the W123. Spent about $800. getting the system running properly at the indy including a new compressor and expansion valve and dryer.
System flushed properly.

It lasted two years and the compressor seized. Had to spend another $700. all over again at another indy.

First indy commented that they sometimes do not do so well because of the lack of lubrication due to their orientation. I wonder if the front plate position has something to do with this???
