73 220D AC questions
Well I did some searching- didn't find much.. But wanted to know if any of you guys have had luck with replacing the AC with an aftermarket one?
59 60 61 - 66 MERCEDES 220 york - sanden AC COMPRESSOR | eBay This is what I have found.. In my readings i have heard the aftermarket is easier on the engine/ blows stronger/ and colder air (ahhhhh) My questions are: Should i replace the dryer? Is this a viable solution? Should I look at something else? Anything else (other than lines and gaskets) that I should replace? Thanks, Chris |
gotchya, I am also finding a lot about the oil in the compressor? Not sure what that is all about. Everytime I find a sticky or thread, it is 10000000 pages long and barely an answer.- yuck

There isn't any benefit to spending the money if your existing compressor works. Sanden compressors do the same job as the york, but use 5 small pistons instead of 2 larger ones. The only advantage is space, which is why new vehicles use them.

BUT I have had two different mechanics tell me to replace it.. So I was going to do it anyway. - Chris |
