I have a 300E that will run all day long as long as it is moving.  On a
hot day with the airconditioner running, it will die withing about 5 min

I have a 1990 300E 24Valve update and am thinking about
converting the car to LPG.

My 190 e air conditiioner died and the dealer says $2525 to repair. Says it
needs a new compressor and a new control module. My questions: How do I know
