How do you find the condensing temperature in a compressor?
A gauge reading on the high side of the system is all that is needed to find the condensing temperature. Convert this pressure to a temperature using a pressure-temperature chart. This is the condensing temperature.
Is the C class C180 Kompressor W203 still made?
Mercedes-Benz C-Class C180 Kompressor W203 (2001-2007) has been discontinued. See all Mercedes-Benz Sedans. Cleaning & Maintenance ? Your trust is our top concern.
Why does my Mercedes-Benz radiator temperature gauge not work?
Its either the thermo opening or air moving across the radiator. Most all cars run cooler radiator temps underway than in traffic. Thats good, the gauge actually works, unlike my POS Land Rover that wont budge a mm between 180-235F :banghead: The gauge should register 90C and shouldn’t vary regardless of outside temp or load.
What should the running temperature be on a Mercedes-Benz C180?
If you only have the one engine fan then the thermostat opens at around 87C and the visco fan cuts in and speeds up. Any electric fan on the rad if fitted does not open till 100c. If you only have the one engine fan then the thermostat opens at around 87C and the visco fan cuts in and speeds up.

What should the pressure be on my air conditioner gauge?
You can begin testing with only 45 psi. You won’t get any cold air, but you should should start to see some compressor engagement. As soon as the compressor engages, it will cycle off rather quickly when the suction side of the compressor draws the pressure on the low side below 20 psi..
How are temperature gauges used in airconditioning systems?
The smaller scales near the middle of the gauge list the temperature relationship of different refrigerants. The gauges pictured here lists the temperature of R12, R22, and R502. Regardless of which refrigerant is being used, the scale designated as PSI is the one used to read system pressures when charging and diagnosing an a/c system.
What does the Red side of the a / C gauge mean?
The red, high side gauge is used to measure the high pressure side of the a/c system. This gauge has no markings that indicate vacuum. It reads positive pressure only.
