than the distilled water. It is MUCH less reactive and although the
buffers in the anti-freeze WILL neutralize the reactivity of distilled

Yes, it starts immediately and seems to run fine---the system blows cold
air, no bubbles in the reciever/dryer sight glass, and no funny
with an appropriate resistor, the cutoff
can be lowered to 34-36 degrees and cooling improved. Allow the temp to
get too low and the evaporator will ice up and cooling rapidly
deteriorates (and the evaporator CAN be damaged).

I agree that the bad battery MAY result from many other things (servo,
some other electrical device stuck on, or even a corroded terminal). If
the battery IS more than 5 years old, replace it anyway (or soon) even
if the trouble is something
rear tire wear problems require subframe
and/or differential mount replacement to correct.

they provide benefits in older cars as well.
Since Ford and Chrysler now require Mercedes formula (G-05) antifreeze
in some of their engines, more brands are selling compatible products,

much nicer ride, faster, more refined in every way). The 124 requires
much less maintenance, but when maintenance is required, it's likely to
be a little to a lot MORE expensive - especially to the AC system.
