Re: [MBZ] What Idiot...
The AC is a circuit. When you pull a vacuum on the low side it also pulls that same vacuum on the high side. It's all connected. If it holds vacuum for a few hours then you add the right amount of whatever freon or cooling agent you want. The right amount depends on what you are using.

I could have tried a vacuum on the low side, and then just charge without knowing if the high would hold. clay ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] What Idiot...
For the radio - could you connect a known good speaker to the output of the fader to verify that good vibes are making it that far before trying to pull the built in speakers? A/C and ACC are the curse of modern (since the early '50s) cars . . .

... decided that the w201 need to have the high side port hidden under all manner of inaccessible hoses and hot things? Neighbor has recently been having me look at his benz cars. I was able to help with the W210 issues that were rather simple. He has a '90 201 that has not had AC for a while and the radio (Becker ) is not making nice sounds out of the speakers. Radio works fine from what I was able to see. It finds stations, switches to WB and plays tapes. Just has crap for sound. Fader was replaced, as was the radio at one time. Never played well since. I removed the fader and gave it some needed contact cleaner. That did not make it notably better sounding. It was too hot to remove the speakers, but that would have required pulling the cluster. As for the AC, I was trying to at least pull a vacuum and see if it would hold. My paws are just too huge to get access to the high side port under all the hoses and hot engine. There was no way to screw on the manifold hose. I had low side, but an hour of poking around just could not line up the hose. Are the cars just meant to have a single charge?
