On-line EPC is great for these kinds of questions, coupled with the MB
price list from Dave M. and you can get a very good estimate of the
cost. http://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/home.jsp
Starting with a 123.133 in the EPC...
I find a part number of 617 205 05 10.
That part is also used on...

Yes - you must assume that you lost some oil as well, and failing to
replace that can run the compressor dry if you lose too much. The trick
is to decide how much oil and what type of oil to add back in...

I think you want to keep the original type of oil, which I believe is mineral
oil but double check that. A good auto parts place will have at least two
types of AC oil on the shelf, and should be able to explain which one is
compatible with R-12; that is the one you probably want, but I would
Sounds like you've got another problem. The knob you turned only
increases the idle speed by pulling on the same linkage that the
accelerator throttle moves, it does nothing to affect starting or
air/fuel ratios, I believe.
You may have an air leak allowing the injection pump to lose its prime,
What are you using to flush?
