Hi Guys, just "hatched" into SGMerc but glad to know so many interesting forums.

Well for a start my B170 has serious aircon issues. Took to CnC...they tell me come back Jan 7 next year. Meaning I've gotta bake myself that long in my car? Aircon started to create some noise while driving and it gets warmer by the day even set at 18 deg. Some say it sounds like a cooling coil issue, others say it might be compressor issue. Anyone had this issue before...can share with me what to do and where to go and how big of a hole my pocket have to prepare?.

Welcome, Merry Xmas also.

By the way, which yr is your W245?

keltanky, thanks and Merry Christmas to you too. I have a 07' 245 and another new B 200. They are both fine actually but learned that aircon is a major issue after 5th year. If cooling coil kaput a, they have yo take down entire dashboard and it takes over 3-4 days job. Needless to say it cost a lot with Si n Si

Yes quite true, what I know of B klass, is the aircon, if kaput, really have to take down the entire dashboard, that's the magic of the previous A and nows B klass design. They design in a way that frontal "knock" will push the engine below the cockpit, instead of towards the cockpit.

I just had my 09 B180 aircon repaired a few months ago at a workshop along Upper Serangoon Road. Took 1 day and total cost $1.2K.  Checked with C&C before and they estimate the repair will take around 3-4 days and the cost around 3K!
