I purchased the i980 and this process worked perfectly on my 2007 W211. Thanks for the video. Saved a pile of money and I have the diagnostic tool for future upkeep.

Top man! My W203 C270 CDI is in France and the last time I was there I noticed the A/C off (yes,on that model it is an 'off' light) was lit up all the time. I had arranged for a local garage to look it up when I go there next week, but now realise they won't be able to do anything without this ODB reader to reset the fault. So, plunging in, following your footsteps. I hope it works, but either way, great video, thanks!

I have just fixed my air con that had this very same issue, thanks for posting this video, had to buy the carsoft reader but it bloody worked yesssssss.

Superb video, 4 years on. Thanks for posting 🙏🏼

Thanks mate! I was lost at the automatic/manual stage. I live in Florida. You just saved my ass from melting. Thank you!

So I live in Florida too. My 2003 is great but may have a small leak. May be less expensive over time just to add ac gas ti my system before it stops running from low pressure. Not sure how much a can of ac refrigerant costs? And not sure if stop-leak leak-shield is good for the overall ac system over time?

Seen several vids (23ish) on this subject and this is by far the best, most comprehensive and thorough vid I have seen. Thanks for such a good job.

Great Donnely. You have taught me what I needed to know about Mercedes Quick Air Con fix. Thank you Ken.

Tom, thank you so much for the video. My 2007 E350 had the exact same problem. To reset the AC fault light, my old ODB2 reader did not work. I bought a brand new ODB2 (with many recommendations for Mercedes) from a different producer, which did not work either. On the contrary, iCarSoft i980 is the one that works! I followed you instructions to reset and filled the AC with one can of a/c Pro max seal and two cans of a/c Pro r134a today (36oz total). I just hope that the sealing is going to last. After having dealer services on this car for the last twelve years, with a plenty of $300+ oil changes (Service A), I found that some modestly difficult work on my car interesting!

Fantastic! - I have the exact same problem in my 2008 e-class --> now i know what to do :-)

Thanks to this video, my a/c is now fixed. I used the same type of products purchased from Halfords.

Thank you very much, I fixed my AC Aircon on my mercedes cls. Thank you again!!

Did you have to use a scanner to reset the fault?

I had to swap out expansion valve did everything besides clear the code, so tomorrow I will be getting a acon reading to allow the compressor to come on and stop the blinking light. By far the best video I have come across. Thanks.

Hi So you can refill it without clearing the code? After refill you just have to wait for the compressor to come on? I can not clear the code myself and obviously i'm trying to avoid the trip to the garage. Thanks.

Well i didn't go that path after all, instead decided to play the garage version, so refill, clear the code, 60 quid down, thought i was over it. After a couple of weeks i was again with no a/c, lost it all, so definitely a leak. Another visit to the garage, investigated but not find the leak, obviously i had to refill so they can see any sign of leakage, but no succese so far, it seems to me that where i live they do not know or have the right means or gear to locate the leak, so this time i was 85 quid down. It's going to be an expensive summer.... Thanks for your reply.

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed for my 2004 E500 wagon, cheers!

Very nice comprehensive footage. Thumbs up! Cheers

Thanks. Same fix worked on my SLK R171.

thanks, nice video. detailed and concise.

Thank you, very clear explanation

Great video! I'm having the same issue that you had and it getting hot here in Missouri, so I'm going to try doing this today. One again thank you, regards.

when i was searching for this product to fill my ac, someone mentioned the need of create vacuum before refill. how you do it?

Thanks a lot, this was helpful for me too, chilly willy!

Thank You...Good info..and Explanation

i did all this but still getting ac button flashing back at me :(

Great video, I have regased my my w211 the temp comes down to around 10c but it does seem to take longer as it gets hotter, it then does not go down to 10c anymore, according to my code reader the in cab sensor the one adjacent to the front interior light is not working ,but the one nr to the ignition is working, do you or anybody else who has made a comment think this could be the problem, any advise would be appreciated.

Tom sometimes the hoses migrate the gas as they get older thus a real slow leak. Check all the hard connections for wet oil leaks first by eye then the flex hoses . After that the compressor seal at the pulley under the car . After that the condenser in front . If the evaporator in the dash is the problem well bye bye blackbird.

Well done !! Thanks

Thanks mate! Cheers up

Very useful, thank you.

I am having this same problem now ,did the leak sheild work?

Did you consider a pressure test with OFN prior to locating the leak first ?

Thank You !!!

Please my Mercedes w211 e200 A/C does not chill when in a traffic or driving at a slow speed. What could be the problem?

THANK YOU! You've saved me $$$$$

V.good video. Thanks

Well presented. I have questions 1. If use no obd how much is the good gas pressure for ac. 2. How is the experience for leak seal.did it work for long term or temporary solution ?

do you why the slk 230 air conditioning runs nonstop?

Are you sure it wont spoil the compressor cause some guy wrote a bad comment on amazon about his compressor got blocked cost him 2000$ but he bought some other brand also in my country mastercool 53909 or 53910 is available ?

The STP regas already has a leak stop component in it 😎

Thanks for the fix it worked!

Why arent all YoTuber videos this good. Its the same problem on my sons CLS and now all I need to do is clear the fault code. I have an OBD2 tool but not mercedes specific so hopefully that works or its a wallet tickler for a new one.. Many thanks. (You dont do a video how to identify which park sensor is goosed on a CLS do you :-P )

I have the same problem on my 08 CLS550

Nice video it really help a lot of people!! Just wondering what kind ofobd tool is that?? I want to buy one . Can give me a name on what brand is that or link thanks and i appreciate it

My Mercedes-Benz W211 E280 4Matic 2007 blows warm air on driver side but cold on passenger. Can someone guide me please?

My AC compressor does not turn on e270 cdi

I don’t have an OBDii scanner. Do I absolutely need to reset the fault code?

I’ve heard these sealants don’t work or last very long . Tom how long has it lasted ,is it still cold or due for a top up ?

What happen if the leak is in the compressor ?

Most leaks come from the SCHrader valves. Evacuate then replace them.

Take it to your automotive store. They can reset the code for you. Oreillys has a pretty good scanner although I'm not sure if that's available in your area.

Hi Dave, follow the link in the description above. Worth pointing out that if you are reasonably technical, you can pick up a $5 port scanner on eBay and try and use the home-grown software supplied with it to scan and reset faults. I used this iCarsoft scanner to keep things simple, but it's not cheap and it is only configured for Mercs. The general purpose OBD scanners will work with any manufacturer providing you get the software to drive it.
