Installing a new R-4 compresssor in an '83 240D. It came with 5 seals and
two aluminum inserts. The insert installation seems obvious: the short
insert goes in the high pressure side which has little space in the
compressor, and the long insert goes in the low pressure side which has much
more space. Tap the inserts in the hose block with a plastic hammer, etc.
The only instructions as to which seals to use are that after tightening the
hose block to the compressor there must be a 1.2 mm gap between the hose
black and the compressor. Only two seals seem to stick up high enough and
evenly enough that the 1.2 mm gap would result after tightening. That is
with the green edged metal/rubber seal in the high pressure side and a brass
edged metal/rubber seal in the low pressure side. I don't see any way the
other seals could be used. This is the first compressor I've installed in a
Mercedes. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Gerry
