Let me re-phrase the question.. what did they do to fix the problem?

This was your April data:

1 - 22
2 - 35
3 - 15
4 - 13
5 - 11
6 - 97
7 - 16
8 - 61

Here the relationship between pressure(7) and tempature(8) is more applicable!!

This is what I would expect!!

With the new data, if correct you don't have the pressure and therefore the corresponding tempature-----this typically means two things---low refrigerant or if full the compressor can't make the pressure!!

Back in April I had the same problem. If the compressor couldn't make the pressure wouldn't that create an error code too, which I didn't have?

Thanks,
Marty.

Ah.. sorry about that was rushing out to the beach for a quick jog

Back to the topic. They drained the freon and re-charged to proper specs. As stated if you simply ask them if they have done W210 before then it should be a cake walk for them.

It needs to be done properly-

1 year later and my AC is still ice cold.

Thanks,

You are correct there is no specific fault code for a bad compressor, however there is a fault for a bad compressor clutch

Faulty compressors show up as unable to make pressure and thus a corresponding drop in refrigerant tempature!!

Where is this car? If the temps are in C, it sounds way too hot for the UK. If theyre in F, just open a window.
