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

The York is internally lubricated by oil in its sump, like like most any other piston motor/engine. Sanden compressor is not a rotary, its a wobble-plate.
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.

I know my clutch has seized, but have no idea if the compressor is done. BUT I have had two different mechanics tell me to replace it.. So I was going to do it anyway.
