no air
I'm down in sunny, warm, humid Florida right now and the AC on my C32 stopped working this evening. It was working fine this morning, but now it blows nothing but hot air and there is a slight hissing/whistling sound coming from the dashboard. So, how much does it generally cost to get the system charged back up?

it varies from 59 to 89$ but before you pay to have it charged you may want a dye test to look for leaks as it sounds like you lost everything at once. could be a blown seal or worse a bad compressor

Took the car to a shop down here to get checked out. They said the condensor is leaking and needs to be replaced, and that I would have to get the part from an MB dealer. Anyone know how much this is going to set me back?

Bryan warned about this. I think he said about 500 dollars.
