Re: [MBZ] I dont think the new AC compressor I got from Rusty is any good
can of marbles. This can't be good. I am NOT going to be happy having It's not good. to pull the system apart again, since the system will have to be opened again I assume I will have to replace the drier yet again. No, you won't if you're careful. I'd suggest corking off the pipes with rubber stoppers and drawing a quick vacuum on it, then leak in a little refrigerant, enough to reach ambient pressure. That'll keep the desiccant from finding any moisture to die on. Not to mention the refrigerant, oil etc I will be out. About $8 for a load of test refrigerant. R12 mineral oil is fairly cheap, too. One of the reasons I like to use it. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Autozone customers? I bought a white box plastic water outlet for a GM 2.4 Twin Cam last year. The 12 year old factory part was breaking up and leaking my coolant out. I needed one right now, and the only places open were the dealer ($33, that's more than list) and A-zone ($15 for pure shite). Given some time, I would have rather ordered Delco online for $17. I didn't realize at the time that the white box was pure shite, and the part that held the o-ring was too small to reliably seal. Every time it got under 40 degrees at night, I lost half my coolant. When warm, the part expanded and sealed. Needless to say, I now try very hard not to frequent the store that had that piece of crap for their only in stock version of that somewhat critical piece of plastic.

[MBZ] I dont think the new AC compressor I got from Rusty is any good
So I finished up the complete ac overhaul on this 116 300SD for my dad. When I got the brand new compressor out to fill in the oil, I noticed that I could not turn the thing over by hand. Every compressor I have dealt with you could easily turn them over by hand unless they were locked up or about to lock up. I did get it to turn over using a screwdriver in a couple of the slots on the front of the clutch. So I filled in the oil, turned it over several times per the instructions. Pull a vacuum for an hour, it holds for an hour, charge with proper amount of 134, fire it up, compressor kicks in, seems to be cooling although cant tell yet how well. Problem is, compressor sounds like a can of marbles. This cant be good. I am NOT going to be happy having to pull the system apart again, since the system will have to be opened again I assume I will have to replace the drier yet again. Not to mention the refrigerant, oil etc I will be out. Well, anybody got any ideas? This compressor sure doesnt sound right to me, right from the stiff turning over by hand down the the loud noises it makes. I fear its probably shredding its insides which will require yet another flush. What a nightmare Somebody tell me its normal and it will quiet down on its own after a while.

Re: [MBZ] I dont think the new AC compressor I got from Rusty is any good
If it won't turn by hand, it won't turn with a belt, either. Defective, Every very AC (or any other compressor for that matter) I've handled has turned with little effort with no pressure differential unless damaged. Different story when you have one with head pressure, but disonnected they should be easy to turn.

Re: [MBZ] I dont think the new AC compressor I got from Rusty is any good
like i try to tell you and rusty all the time, there is no savings to be had with chinese parts! i only keep that crap in the catalog so rusty will have something to sell to guys like you, but i won't let online customers buy it. does anyone else find it ironic that while it is quality that brings most of us to MB cars, the clamor for cheaper and cheaper chinese parts grows louder everyday? i can understand it with a half retard like kleb, but i'm amazed how many obviously smart guys fall into this group as well.

Re: [MBZ] I dont think the new AC compressor I got from Rusty is any good
I could not get this one to turn by hand on the bench. It does turn, but is stiff, and will turn like I said using a screw driver to move it. Turns with the belt just fine. Peter Frederick wrote: If it won't turn by hand, it won't turn with a belt, either. Defective, Every very AC (or any other compressor for that matter) I've handled has turned with little effort with no pressure differential unless damaged. Different story when you have one with head pressure, but disonnected they should be easy to turn.

Re: [MBZ] I dont think the new AC compressor I got from Rusty is any good
I just told rusty to send me a new, not rebuilt compressor. I have no control over what he sent me. So what are the brands of new ones that are available to you? What is this abco or whatever brand. Its not abco but it start with an A, it something like abco. When I told him a new one, I was expecting a harrison/delco or whatever they are Gary Hurst wrote: like i try to tell you and rusty all the time, there is no savings to be had with chinese parts! i only keep that crap in the catalog so rusty will have something to sell to guys like you, but i won't let online customers buy it. does anyone else find it ironic that while it is quality that brings most of us to MB cars, the clamor for cheaper and cheaper chinese parts grows louder everyday? i can understand it with a half retard like kleb, but i'm amazed how many obviously smart guys fall into this group as well.

No, it doesn't, it's knocking. It's turning, but not just fine!

Re: [MBZ] I dont think the new AC compressor I got from Rusty is any good
the problem, kleb, is that a quality unit of the harrison/delphi class is going to cost you at least 250 and maybe as much as 300. so let's just say $275 to split the difference. the one you buy for 100 bucks just ain't gonna make it, man! ok, repeat after me: shanghai white box special is not actually the original maker of general motors AC compressors i and a handful of others am resisting the tempation to go with all white box chinese all the time and we are losing the war because all 90% of customers want is the lower price possible. even i have to make consessions in this area to stay alive am therefore spend a lot of time thinking about what is chinese garbage vs what is really bad chinese garbage vs what is really really ridiculously bad chinese garbage. when i started doing this 10 years ago, i used to mock customers who bought meyle for buying junk. today i wish customers would be willing to even step up to the quality of meyle, which just buries chinese junk in terms of quailty. when i talk to my suppliers about quality, i always ask the simple question of is this something you'd be happy to put on your own car. nowadays the most common answer i'm getting is i wouldn't put that in my trunk. it's a disaster and those of you who brought it about know who you are. as for the very many of you who stand fast and will spend 5 dollars more for lemforder than for chinese generic, i salute you and encourage you to never surrender to the temptation of junk parts.
