We imported a number of M110 126 cars in 1984 and 1985. One we ordered to our specs new and was a 1985. It came with a nippondenso compressor. One or two that we imported came without A/C and we had kits installed before they left Germany. I think these had a york and sanden comps.

The Sanden and the Seltec use the same bracket. The Seltecs are all o-ring fittings. The sandens can be o-ring or flare. I like the Seltec because the fittings come out parallel rather than in a "V" as the sanden does, purely astetic. Both are good low vibration units. WP has the Seltecs.

All of the installs we had done in europe had MB evaporators and cases. They of course had teh manual controls. I have seen some terrible hang ons where the evap was crammed into a heater only case. Poor cooling and airflow were the unrepairable consequenses.
