Just curious for all W124 owners with R134A.
I have to have the fans pumped on high for the car to stay comfortable (not even cold, just comfortable)...if I hit the fans on low the car heats up pretty quickly.

Anybody else's w124 seem to get his hot or is this something I am just experiencing? I don't know a whole lot about A/C systems at all, so is there anything I should clean out or check? I'm not losing any refrigerant. This is on my 1988 300TE btw. I think it should be colder without a doubt. It has been switched to R134A

Just want to see how everybody is in comparison.

Those old compressors did a good job with R12 and with a proper conversion you need to make sure they put in less r134a by weight or it will not cool off as well as it should.
You get near oe capacity and it actually gets warmer output.
Check your charge even if you have to have it pulled weighed vacuumed down and recharged.Then you will see cooler temps.
good luck.

My motor blows but not cold just warm or hot

Does your compressor engage? If so, your A/C unit is probably what is causing it. I had a similar problem when I first got my TE. I pulled the unit out from behind the wood and resoldered some bad points and it solved it for about 3-4 months til it started happening again...I ended up finding one at the junkyard that worked great.

On my car it depends where it was parked. The car is black, so it attracts and retains heat. If its in the sun, it seems like no matter the setting, the AC will barely manage to keep to comfortable. But thats ok. I rarely turn on the AC.

If it was parked in the shade it seems to blow cooler.

I found this out just by sheer coincidence on two hot consecutive days.
