[R129 SL] SL-500 Air conditioning

[George Jenner]

I had trouble with the air conditioning in my '96 SL500 about a year ago. 
All it needed was refrigerant.  I found that out by buying a kit called 
"Auto Air Conditioner ReChill Kit" by Quest.  This kit comes with a gauge to 
check the AC system pressure, and the R-134a refrigerant, which comes with 
stop leak already in it in case there is small leakage which is virtually 
undetectable as mine was.  I forgot where I got it online but you should be 
able to Google it by name.

Hope this is a minor problem for you - George
