1999 300M ,, A/C Problem?

Last year in April I replaced the compressor, belt, condenser, etc... A/C worked good all summer.. Today the temp. was 70+ and no a/c... runs ok, but no cool air.. Could the refrigerant have leaked out? You advice and counsel needed and appreciated. Have had this car 10 years and only 66,000 miles on it - can't afford to trade... Thanks in advance.

Have you checked compressor clutch is electric energized and engaged?

Regards,

Ralf

 

You mention nothingabout having ever replaced the evaporator on thi
vehicle. With the history of these vehicles having aleaking evap I woul
say that your vehicle may be low on R134 and this could be your problem
The A/C manifold gauges would have to be connected to verify afull orlo
charge.

I agree with Glenn - the evaps. on the LH cars are a particular weak
spot. Plan on several hundred dollars of cost if that's it and you
replace it - the entire dash has to be removed.
