First of all, the compressor has no clutch. It uses an internal swash plate, so there's no way to visually determine if the compressor is engage or not. You are also supposed to replace the expansion valve when the system is opened. What are the pressures and ambient temperature when checked? Also, if you have access to SDS or another specialized tool that can scan MBZ's proprietary systems, you should be able to check codes on the ACC and even check the operation of the compressor and cut-off switches.
