It sounds like your best bet is to bring it to a Kleeman dealer to get this sorted out.

As you know, MB's aren't cheap to maintain and with the additiion of a s/c, the costs will rise exponentially. So, you WILL spend a lot of money but my suggestion is to ask around and find an indy who really is good and let him have a go at it. With all the problems you are experiencing, forum diagnostics is only going to get you so far. Good luck and hope you get everything sorted out.
