Images available only to Customers.

This is a typical picture of the fitting to fill/charge an A/C on a Mercedes. Just look for the larger metal/rubber A/C tubing and the look for the valve shown.(called a schrader valve that looks similar to a bicycle valve with a cap on it.

I hope this answer is helpful.

Sorry, I have not had any success posting pictures.

But let's not give up OK?

Do you plan on charging ths A/C yourself?

Sorry I don't know how to do that....but don't fret, just follow the bigger/thicker A/C lines around until you find the valve. On some models it is very near or on the reciever dryer unit. The reciever dryer is either aluminum or painted aluminum (black).

Let me know how you do OK?
