You sir made this easy or easier than what I was told. I've been told they have to disassemble half the car for this job.

Just bought an AC compressor for a 2005 clk320. Hope I can do it. Thank you for the great video.

great job bro 🙏

loving this, MB dealer states its 2.3 hours to replace compressor not including evacuation of freeon, here is 12 minute video in and out, lol.

Lmao. Actually that’s what the owner of that car said after watching that video. 🤦‍♂️

Plenty of room with M112. I did this job on W210 with M113. Getting the bolts out was lots of fun.

[@curtisglassford156]

Would I be able to use the same AC compressor from a 2004 C200 on a 2003 C200?

[@lastking2114]

Finally a clear video! Is this job the same as an Mercedes Benz 2007 C230 sport? And what are all the tools you used to do this job.

[@a2zautomasters862]

Thank you for your comment. It’s almost the same job. Mainly you will need E10 E12 and 6mm Allen and a ratchet

[@Jamie-ww3yz]

What's the average cost for parts and labor

[@a2zautomasters862]

@@Jamie-ww3yz it depends on what kinda parts you’re using. Labor is about $200-250. In this case customer got his own parts online for $100 and end up being no good and had to do it again for him and he paid me the labor again.

[@viterisi]

Hi, thanks for this useful video! I am about to carry out a similar job, however, the refurbished compressor I purchased came with no lubrication oil. I found that it should be filled with about 150-180mL of PAG46 oil. Is there a preferential side (low or high-pressure side) it should be added to?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Any side should be alright. Add the oil and spine the compressor by hand back and forth few times. Thank you for watching I do appreciate your comment.

[@MK-ij4yl]

Very helpful video. Is it same work for a 2006 S500 4-Matic? Not sure how to tell if its a w220 or w221? Also, any recommendations for replacement compressor? New or used, where to get it? Thx.

[@MK-ij4yl]

Anyone has this info?

[@dinodemauro4855]

Your video is 02 c240 4matic with no metal suspension?strengthener plate that completely blocks access to compressor. My 03 c240 4matic does have this miserable plate which is tied into motor mounts/subframe/radiator shroud and entire front end of 03 model c240. Is there any shortcut instead disassembling all of this for access? Any advice dearly appreciated!!🐉🌅

[@mckoylach1622]

Great video,didn’t you have to put some oil into the compressor before installation? Or is it pre added already ?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Some compressors come with the oil already and some don’t. I usually add 2OZ of oil with dye just in case of any future leaks in the system.

Is this a similar AC Compressor refit for the C200 w203 2002?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Yes should be.

how many lite?

[@bigdfitness5020]

Can I replace my compressor and then drive somewhere to get the system filled/recharged, as long as I dont turn the AC on?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Yea Absolutely. Even if you turn it on nothing will happen. It’s made to activate when only pressure in the system.

[@nolanryan3383]

I have a 2005 c230k with the supercharged 4cylinder…are all these w203 ac compressors the same ??? I’ve found a compressor from a 2005 c240 with the 6 cylinder will it fit into my c230????

[@a2zautomasters862]

I honestly couldn’t answer that. Not sure.

[@dezcpo]

Where do you attach the wire from the valve connector wire with the pigtail connector

[@a2zautomasters862]

The compressor wire? It’s attached to a small bracket on the top of the compressor

[@dezcpo]

Sorry.let me be more clear. The wire that has to be connected to the compressor. Where does that originate from. I was going to replace the pigtail which has red/green wires. The existing wire only has 1 attached to the broken connector. Other hole on the broken connector seemed unused

[@a2zautomasters862]

@@dezcpo most of these compressors only get one wire for power and it takes ground from the body by being attached to the engine. Plz let me know if that answered your question. Thanks

[@dezcpo]

Yes it does thank you. I have to just find the connector to replace the one from the engine

Sorry to hear. Extracting broken bolts can be a pain but there’re few methods I use. If you have any part of the bolt showing you can you an turbo sockets or weld a nut on the broken end then extract. If nothing showing you will have to drill it then use extractor kit. Let me know how it goes.

i change compresor and new compresor not working

[@a2zautomasters862]

Maybe a defected one? Make sure you have the right amount of R134A, Check if you getting power to the compressor when the system is activated. If not check compressor fuse and relay and pressure sensor on the line.

[@mbz4652]

@@a2zautomasters862 How do you check if your are getting power to the compressor when the system is activated and if not, the pressure sensor on the line?

Just changed mine today on a 07 c280, and still ac compressor not engaging to be able to add the freon.

[@cyasia809]

It’s happened often

[@potatoburger9659]

I finally got mine going after some more digging. For me it ended up being a cut wire for the pressure sensor that is also connected to the cooling fan. Check and see if your fan is turning on. Cause it could be the same problem

[@figgiefigueroa7372]

They told me that half of the car has to be disassemble 😂😂😂😂

[@markdavid4897]

I can honestly say that I hated changing the A/C compressor on my 2003 C320 more than any car work I have ever done. The original compressor pulley assembly decided to simply start falling off of it's shaft. Mercedes can't seem to make a good car AC system worth a shit. My other Mercedes, a 1986 W201 diesel, has gone through 1 compressor and 2 related wiring harnesses and now doesn't work (again) after all of that and several thousand $$$ in A/C parts and labor. In the meantime, I have a 45-year old Chevy truck that is still working well with the original compressor.

[@sl5311]

I know. I have a 25 yr old S10. I read somewhere a lot of it was originally designed in the 1940's and 50's and they just stayed with what worked in the newer models. I see too much of trying new things in Mercs instead of keeping what worked and not changing it.

[@curtisholbert]

My 2001 C320 seems to have the same issue with the A/C compressor. Did you successfully change it out?

[@jt8280]

Diy and save $2000.
