No, but I can guarantee that 1200 RPM indicates a serious lack of power or

Now I'm wondering if my 0-60 time is low because of a bad torque
converter. Would a bad torque converter also affect the fuel economy?
Our 450SL had a bad TC, and at-speed power and fuel economy
were unchanged. Off the line, however, it was quite the slug.
Stall speed was low, and it whined.
I've decided that I'm going to remove the current charge, flush the
system, check screen in the TXV, replace receiver/dryer and re-charge
with r134.
If you're going to do all that, why not switch to a better-performing
refrigerant? There are several you could test...
My issue with R134a is
How much pressure? I've found that my snowmobile trailer is much better behaved
with 50# in the tires instead of 30#. The sidewall max is 60# I think... I've
also had far fewer blowouts with the increased pressure.
I'd be worth giving the whole trailer the once over. Coming home last spring
Of course, the Cathey test mixture is probably the cheapest.
Currently about $8 per car.

It all boils down to those numbers being useless. He needs a better compression
tester and a proper battery. Jumping a battery is unacceptable, a leaking
compression tester is likewise unacceptable.

The expansion valve is different for R12 R134a. What I found was that
a clean and tight system with the 134 valve works OK, but not brilliantly.

The 92 and up 124's have factory R134. The evap and condenser all have

.I haven't ever actually seen one that I was aware of, but I would
not hesitate at the OM605. Doesn't the W202 have the front spring mounts that
pop off at the top?..
W202 diesels were not sold in the US. And it's the W210 that rusts apart.
My W202 never showed any rust and it's M104
I'll look to see if I have those things that are of of the car. Haven't
decided to go all Kaleb on it yet...

So why does the factory 134 seem to cool better than a converted car?
They have the same part number _now_, but did they always? A
larger-for-R134a finned beast could supersede an R12-only unit

In the 202 chassis a 104 motor would be my next choice, the M111 just
seems a bit weak but lots available in 1.8 liter format :'( with the
crappiest looking interior MB ever came up with, makes the cheap C look
very cheap. That's why the upper speced 202 are better with tex or leather.
The expansion valve is different, the other parts all have always had
the same part number (it's from before the switch).
I've discovered a couple things -- one, you really do need to get rid
of the mineral oil, it coats the condenser (along with all the crud
that has collected) and
I have just now been getting mails from earlier today, sent a couple
earlier that have not arrived, though some others did.
I did hear a helicopter hovering earlier, but I put on my AFDB and it
went away.
