- Fits: 1974-1976 Mercedes-Benz 230 and other vehicles
- Material: Steel

An open or leaking system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, which leaves the drier ineffective. Weak cooling alone does not prove the drier is the problem, since a refrigerant leak is another common cause. Replace the drier any time the A/C system is serviced.
