I drove the kids over to a buddy's airport for rides in his Breezy this
afternoon - on the way back, the A/C started blowing warm air. I figured
that enough R12 had leaked out that the compressor was dis-engaged. We kept
driving. half an hour later, the car shifts into 3rd gear on a slight
incline
At least it kept that guy off the streets, out of bars, and away from the
bikini babes on youtube for a good while!

Did the car have green anti-freeze when you got it? With one exception
(the'92 300D from Kaleb), I've ended up replacing the radiator to eliminate
over heating problems if the car had green anti-freeze when I purchased it.
No amount of citric acid flushing, "cleaning" by the radiator shop, etc.

Does anybody have the instructions and list of codes for reading codes
in a 140 etc? I have the special light tool but cant locate my codes at
the moment. I have a check engine light and a ASR light after installed

That Color is called desert sand, same as my 05 CDI. Make sure the air
suspension has been upgraded...there was a TDB on that. When it fails,
it is a no go situation.
That model also had terrible electrical problems according to my
friends at the local dealer. MB was not at the top of reliability

I don't know a lot about the S430, but I believe Mercedes were having some
paint issues at that time. I've heard several were repainted, after owners
kicked up a stink. Around here, where the roads are salted quite heavily in
winter, it's not uncommon to see that vintage of S Class with a lot of

Getting the oil cooler back on line will make a huge difference -- it
will also raise the oil pressure back up to normal.
You may also have a radiator full of crud -- check to make sure you
