Mercedes-Benz Six-Cylinder Frigidaire Air Conditioning | PDF

Mercedes-Benz technical manual for the Frigidaire air conditioning system with six-cylinder compressor, especially useful for repair, maintenance and restoration of classic Mercedes-Benz models equipped with this system.

This publication brings together technical procedures for system discharging, compressor removal, installation, repair, lubrication and leak testing of the Frigidaire air conditioning compressor installed in selected classic Mercedes-Benz models.

The content is focused mainly on the six-cylinder Frigidaire compressor and its related components, including clutch, pulley, bearings, shaft seal, internal mechanism, lubrication and leak testing.
