Hello
Thank you for having me here.
Join up as I have problems with A/C on my 2006 Mercedes Benz B200 W245.
A/C gets cold intermittently approx. 1 out of 10 times of use.
Problem is with the car since I have it.
I am a truck mechanic at Volvo so I have A/C experience.
Last year replaced the compressor as it was noisy and the condenser looked like maybe damaged.
Evacuated the gas and vacuum leakage all fine, regassed all ok. 0.8kg.
Still only working intermittently...
Later in the year after winter replaced the expansion valve, evacuated, checked for blockage in all pipes, vacuum test ok and recharge, still intermittently getting cold.
Replaced the in-car HVAC controller (second hand, and cleaned the sensor of dirt with electrical cleaner) thinking maybe interior sensor problems
Still intermittently not getting cold.
Measured voltage at sun sensor 5v.
Resistance of sun sensor approx 12kohm at 21c.
Pulled fuses swapped no help,
When A/C working is really good cold temperatures.
What can be wrong?
Thinking run wire straight to A/C compressor plug but not sure if voltage?
Thank you
AI: Can you provide the ambient temperature conditions when the A/C fails to cool properly?
10 to 25 degrees
AI: Have you checked for any error codes or diagnostic messages from the vehicle's system that might indicate an issue with the A/C?
Yes no fault
