    I had my valve changed and it didn’t help the randomness of my AC where it just effectively stops working. I find if I turn it off on the dash for 10 second and on again it wakes up and starts cooling.

    I’d just do the compressor and be done with it next time.

    Definitely want the whole thing changed, was just looking for a shortcut... But that might be too much to ask for on an L319.

    Without reading the whole thread it seems to me that the aircon fitted to Landies is problematic. Just had a new compressor fitted to our 2016 D4 at just over 100K and our Puma had it's fail at around 150K. Over 3K to fix both times but at least the extended warranty paid for the D4s.

    Had mine replaced in my 2013 D4 last May. Can't give an exact figure as I had a service and remap and EGR blank at the same time. It would have been over $3000 as Alan has said. PITA job by the sound of it.

    That sounded like a rambling 3 minute narration of the steps listed in the service manual plus a few other bits he took off to get in there.

    I find if I read about any job in the service manual it always seems mission impossible but when I see a video I always feel like it’s doable.

    Much appreciated.
    Airbag?

    It’s relatively cheap to replace the compressor, attempting to replace the valve isn’t worth the time once you know how much is involved to remove and replace the comp.

    You need a hand of a midget to work around crap in that area. The video makes it look easy, but you are literally working blindly.
