Frustrating AC issue
So I’ve had my 06 e320 cdi for about 18 months now, and The AC hasn’t ever worked right. I think I may have been dealing with multiple issues.
The first problem has been a leak. I’d have to add a can of Freon every couple months or so. I had just been kinda procrastinating getting it fixed. I finally sucked it up and had a mechanic look at it. It turned out to be a leaking condenser. I had that replaced last week.
So this brings me to the second issue. The vents on the left side of the car blow much warmer air than the ones on the right. I had read that the main cause of this was the system being low in Freon. I literally just had the system fully charged and it’s exactly like it was before. Can there be another cause if this. Could it be possible I’m getting some heat from the heater on my right side vents. Starting to get hot again, I’m getting a tad frustrated. Thanks in advance.
