AC Compressor not engaging W124

Hi all,

It suddenly happened. There was no ac on the way home. It was ultra cool during lunch.

1) The compressor did not even attempt to engage
2) Blower is fine
3) Tensioner and belt was changed 3 weeks ago
4) A/C was flushed 5 days back.

There was an incident:

While trying to recharge the system before flushing as they saw only 200 on the guage and mentioned that it needs 250. The 134 canister squeal loudly and the needle wouldn't rise. Suddenly the needle rise rapidly and there was a loud over charging sound with the system. Everyone stand off afraid that it would explode..... The mec bleed off the pressure and proceed to flush the system claiming that the hoses had clogged and jammed up the pressure.

After the flush, a/c runs fine from sunday till today and now gone.

what could have gone wrong?

Thanks

And so I just came back from the mec who did the flush. There was no freon in the system. Once Frueon was added, Compressor cut in.

He replaced the O rings again in the EX valve and also the dryer. Then added dye to the system.

No charge to me. He said to use it first and monitor.

Can I use a voilet light to check for leaks? or bionic eyes?

Thanks
