W210 AC Help
Hi Everyone,
First time posting here but a long time reader. I was hopping to get some help on troubleshooting my AC issue. I have a 2001 e430 with 150k miles. A/C reading is as follows:
1. 91
2. 93
3. 98
4. 98
5. 96
6. 191
7. 10-14 (Depends on temp humidity and driving)
8. 107
There are no error codes on the display. I did have the b1416 before but I fixed that issue and reset the codes. I also had the system vacuumed and recharged recently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I replaced the Evap Temp Sensor last week with no significant change. the b1416 error returned when I just checked it. The following read I get on the sensors are as follows:
1. 84
2. 89
3. 87
4. 87
5. 85
6. 206
7. 15 (Depends on temp humidity and driving)
8. 120
Let me know if this lines up with your earlier thoughts of either expansion valve and/or compressor.
Thanks for the help!

@Nelbur - After the recharge it still did not work. It was left at 2.2 lbs where it was slightly over at 2.6 lbs before.
@Plutoe - During the vacuum & recharge the gauges would fluctuate. The tech said it was acting as if the compressor was bad.
On my way home from work the EC light came on and #7 dropped to a steady 7.

@Plutoe - B1241 and b1416 are the faults. #7 is down to 5 now so the EC light comes on instantly. I'm not sure where this leak would suddenly come from but I will need to track this down before moving forward I suspect. Any other suggestions before I head down this path?
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
