[diesel_mercedes] Air Con Woes

 



Well Max ;

Back when my car was new I only weighed 165 # so it was easy .

Now I'm old and 240 # so I prefer AC when I can get it , oddly enough I drive my Metropolitan Nash more in the Summer than in any part of the year .

I'm in the process of re learning AC Service , I stopped in 1986 IIRC , cannot seem ot find an honest or competent AC man anywhere so I'll just do what I have to do .

The plus side is : Tom's old 1979 Dodge D200 cvrew cab pickup will once again have AC  before too long =8-)

To directly answer your question : I drive with the vents open and the fan on , windows down and elbow out .

I figure I can use to sweat off some pounds , a bit of sweating like a naughty girl in Church never hurt anyone

AC is still dead but it's running fine , I adjusted the valves recently .

387 miles 24.2 MPG .

It's very consistent freeway or in town .

For now I'm finished tinkering on it , all the windows and door checks work as - new again and i added the plastic vapor barriers , replaced the slightly cracked driver's side door card and up graded the driver's arm rest to full length

To - day I washed and waxed it ~ boy that's a LOT of car to wax~ I didn't actually wax the whole thing but it sure is shiny & pretty now .

I have to replace the rotted exhaust hangers with the improved R107 ones then I can give it back to SWMBO ~ she'll love it as I removed and shampooed all the carpets and did some serious de greasing etc. , etc......

I'm still looking for the third seat seat belts .
