lol ...omo this una Benz come they fear me now oooo....I have been driving a Peugeot 407 for 3 yrs now and people nearly killed me for buying a Peugeot but the best car I have had all my life ....Dependable and reliable ....So am a little inclined towards buying European car becos of the thrills that comes with them
Get an infiniti G35/37, its got more thrills than a 6 cylinder benz.

Guys e be like say I don enter one chance. My ml500 w164 was diagnosed with a bad compressor
and this was confirmed by 3 different auto workshops before I decided to fix cos the heat na die. The guy I gave it to changed the whole system just to make sure no stories. He added a manual compressor however because he said it's more durable and he can return if any issues arise. He also added a manual thermometer to regulate. I got the car back with AC working but the fan speed is in full gear. I mean the sound is like a plane about to take off when the compressor picks up. Took it back immediately and he diagnosed and says the ECU needs to be changed!!! Abeg gurus, what's the way out of this mess?

Put back factory compressor.
The ECU no dey communicate well again with cooling unit(the sensor on it) so the car thinks there is a heating problem and blow high fan all because of the conversion the technician do,nothing else.
Na so benz dey ,no cutting corners!
Always replace parts with exactly what oyibo said,no imaginations abi construction.
And I also think that technician is crazy,nothing is wrong with your ECU.
If benz ECU get problem trust me,no be AC guy go tell you wink,
When e show you shege finish,you go know grin grin

Nope. Don't embark on a journey of no return. Where's your location? If Lagos find gazzuzz, nakoks, oluwaseunla (that one dey dodge work) mosbus, or kamo.

Now stop. Pause collect everything they've removed. And bail out!

So should he just get the automated compressor? Instead of the manual?

Yes and also remove any nasty connection/modification he made.

Okay, doing this tomorrow. Returning the factory compressor and removing his dodgy connection. All other items can be left in place and I run for my life. So way forward is to get the factory compressor installed. Noted bro, thanks a million
