I need to replace my ac compressor and i am heading to a junkyard to get a new one. The two cars they have are a 1998 E320 and a 2000 C280. I have a 2004 CLK320. Anybody know if either of these compressors will fit mine?

 

i'd double check with EPC...

 

Why not just get a new compressor?

I went through this on my 2k5 clk320. Ended up getting the compressor new from rockauto for I believe right around 190... Pulling something like that from a yard to me is a gamble. Who knows how many miles are on it, and who knows what it's been through. Though it's not hard to remove the AC from the car it's a pita.... I would much rather know that the compressor I just got is going to work rather than chancing it and putting it in the car, pulling a vacuum, then refilling the system only to find out the bearings in the compressor are bad or it whines...etc. That's also if you are doing the work yourself... if you take it to the shop you are going to be paying double if the compressor is bad to get another one re installed..

Not sure about the models but good luck!
