98 C230 New Compressor
Recently my compressor quit working on me, so I ordered and authentic Denso off Amazon (mechanic confirmed it) as well as the Expansion Valve and Dryer. Ordered some Mercedes PAG oil and O-rings from the dealership as well. Upon picking my car up my indie told me the clutch engaged pretty loud when he was charging the system, and usually they are a lot more quiet. A week later I checked the codes in the climate control box and found one for the coolant circ pump, left duo valve, and electromagnetic clutch... So I cleared em' last night and this morning checked again after I got to work to find only 419 returned (the clutch). This is a new compressor. So I called Amazon and they sending me another tomorrow via fedex next day air. There goes another $75 to my indie. So I guess I'm coming on here to share my experience and see how many of you had run into the same problem. As my A/C currently stands, when driving down the road in the hot florida sun I reach peak temps of 58, and idling I'm getting around 60-70. Also my evaporator drain is clogged and water is leaking into the cabin which shorted out the SRS module. What temps are you guys reaching?
