ML430 A/C Leak - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

nbml430 · #1 06-08-2004, 10:52 PM

I noticed that the a/c wasn't as cold as it usually is. After reading about fuse#44 on the forums, I decided to check and sure enough it was blown. I replaced it with another 30a fuse. I realize that I will need to get the wiring harness upgraded. But, I also noticed what appears to be a freon leak at a schrader valve on the a/c. Can someone confirm this is it? Thanks. -Norm

Looks like it. Check here: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?threadid=96423

Remove the cap and "flick" the shrader stem; see if it reseals, or have a shop replace the valve core with the tool that is listed in the above thread.
