I have a new Harrison A/C compressor from Rusty ready to go in an '83 240D. A tag says oil must be added but does not say how much or in which port it should be poured.
There is no information on whether this is a Harrison R-4 (four cylinder), A-6 (six cylinder), DA-6 (six cylinder), or V-5 (five cylinder) compressor. According to the Haynes A/C manual, the amount of oil that should be added to each type of compressor is varied. The only ports this compressor has other than the hose ports is a plug held in by a snap ring and a brass plug with a green center screwed into the back of the compressor. If someone (Rusty?) can tell me which Harrison compressor this is, I can figure out the amount of oil necessary. Six ounces seems to be the usual amount. I plan to flush the lines, evaporator, and condenser; and replace the dryer. Haynes rule-of-thumb for adding oil to those components after flushing is: Condenser-one ounce Dryer-one ounce evaporator-three ounces Harrison A-6, R-4, or V-5 Two ounces plus the number of ounces drained from the old compressor. Does this sound right? Thanks, Gerry Archer '83 300D and 240D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
