W126 A/C System Rebuilt - Condenser Source

[floydla1]

Hello Gentlemen,


Can someone recommend a good brand A/C condenser and where I can buy? All my standard sources are reporting "out of stock". O'Reilly says they have a "Murray" condenser for $300, but I know nothing about this brand.



Background: Time to give the 300SD some TLC. The replacement A/C compressor blew (R134A system) about a year ago. I have assembled the replacement parts -- all but the condenser (original). I reviewed a lot of the existing threads and am now persuaded that I should also replace the condenser. Parallel flow design appears to be the way to go.


I did this job about 8 years ago (including expansion valve) -- its a big job, and only want to do it once.


A special thank you in advance for the posts on system flushes.
