so a few months back my wife hit a rabbit with my 2006 S55, now it's starting to get hot out so I went to turn on the AC and nothing, it stays off, so I hooked up my scanner and it's saying pressure low, so while inspecting everything I noticed a hole in the condenser, so now the question, how easy is it to replace the condenser my self in the drive way, don't really want to pay $800-$900

 

I have never replaced the condenser on a W220, so I can only say that it looks to be only moderately difficult..

But...
Replacing only the condenser will not be sufficient. If the AC system has basically sat open to the elements for several months, the dessicant in the dryer will be saturated, so the dryer must also be replaced. Then the system must be pumped down to a very low vacuum for some time - the longer,the better. Then the system must be charged with exactly the correct amount of R-134a refrigerant, and the error code must be reset

Google is your friend....
