I wish you'd said something earlier -- you need to have a filter  
installed in the suction line to keep crap from the locked up  
compressor out of the new one -- this is likely what killed the last  
one.

[MBZ] 123 300td AC

[Rick Hawkins Java via Mercedes]

So, we removed the frozen compressor (new 4 seasons ago or less)

We flushed about half the system with printing blanket/roller wash and blew it 
out

we added about 8 oz of mineral oil to the compressor and the new drier

We installed a new $152 ebay compressor and the amazon $11.50 drier (Behr 
branded from china)

We replaced a bunch of green o rings wherever we opened something

We used the $17 set of compressor sealing rings

We evacuated and charged it with genuine R-12

and …. voila …. 40 degree cold AC

it took two of us about 5.5 hours … i'm a decent mechanic and the other guy is 
an AC expert, but we're both about 60 and it takes longer than it used to

i'll take it down to SAV in a few days and test it out

how long will it last, who knows 

3 years sucks and 5 years would make me ecstatic! I never had to add freon 
throughout the life of the last compressor


thanks,

xx rick
