[MBZ] more AC stuff
OK I found a good used AC compressor for my 300TD, now I need to clean the crap out of the lines, evaporator and condensor. Anyone have any advice? Spray in some solvent followed by compressed air? Buying all new lines and hardware is not an option for this car... -Zach
Re: [MBZ] more AC stuff
We used to use liquid freon to boil the lines clean - can't do that anymore. I'm sure that the industry has found a substitute.

Most McParts Stores has a A/C Line Cleaner made by Castrol used when Replacing R-12 with R-132. Look where the Freon is kept. Russ W.
