  Q: How to remove and install of the A/C Condenser on Mercedes-Benz C320?

  A:

  To remove the condenser, first have the refrigerant discharged and recycled by an air conditioning technician. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery and drain the cooling system. For early models with the receiver/drier mounted inside the condenser, remove the receiver/drier from the condenser. Disconnect the condenser line and discharge line from the condenser. On early models, unplug the electrical connector from the pressure switch and remove the nut that secures the refrigerant line junction block to the condenser. For later models with the receiver/drier mounted beneath the condenser, remove the receiver/drier and cap the fittings on the condenser and lines to prevent entry of dirt or moisture. Release the clips that secure the condenser to the Radiator and lift the condenser out of the vehicle. For installation, follow the reverse steps of removal and have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested by an air conditioning technician.
