Mercedes W210 Full A/C Service - SAVE THOUSANDS

This video is a compilation of the previous 4 videos in my W210 series of A/C component replacements. The video shows from the beginning to the end how to replace the following: AC Compressor, AC Expansion Valve, AC lines, and AC Receiver Drier. It also shows how to charge your system with fresh Freon. This job can easily cost $2,000 plus in the U.S. Expansion Valve - https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/merc...

If you cannot afford the MB brand compressor, don't worry. There are two solid third party brands with very good reputation. Denso and Nissens. https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/89022 https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/0002307011 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/merc... https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/merc... You need to add 4.05 ounces (120 cubic centimeters) of compressor oil (PAG 46) to the compressor unless it comes prefilled with oil. Even then, if you are not sure it comes with PAG 46, drain it and replace it with PAG 46. Keep in mind, compressor oils are mostly hygroscopic and absorb the moisture from the air. Moisture kills A/C systems. Therefore, minimize the amount of time your oil bottle is open, the compressor is open if prefilled with oil, or if any port to your A/C system is open for longer than a few minutes. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/pag-... It is always a good idea to replace the two rubber gaskets at the tip of the two pressure lines connecting the Expansion Valve and the Condenser to the Compressor. Depending on when you last replaced the gaskets, consider replacing them. You can remove the two old gaskets and try to find matching gaskets at an auto parts store or buy the following packages: https://www.autohausaz.com/catalog/c/... https://www.autohausaz.com/catalog/c/... I used the Hansa Receiver Drier model but the cheapest Receiver Drier as of October, 2019, is the Rein model which is much better than Rein and can be found at FCPEuro.com for $13.00: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/merc.... If you live in the U.S., you can borrow both tools you will need for this job - A/C Manifold Gauge and Vacuum Pump - from most franchised Auto Parts stores. You can also purchase them from the following links. Manifold: https://www.amazon.com/OrionMotorTech... Pump: https://www.amazon.com/Kozyvacu-TA350...
