I recently installed a Klima compressor upgrade kit on my W123.
I filmed some of the install, but I'm not sure anyone wants to see a 45 minute video of me scratching my head and redoing things, I may attempt an edit of that at some point, or just upload it all as an unlisted video for anyone bored enough to watch that nonsense.
This video I show my experience with the install, point out a couple spots that confused me, and how the new compressor works.
Is it a massive upgrade that turned my car into a refrigerated box? Not really.
Is it a worthwhile upgrade because of how quiet it is and how much smoother it operates? Yes
Would I do it again? I'm still debating because of the complexity of the install and the gatekeeping practices of the company as regards their instructions.
If there is some interest shown, I may pick up one of the alternative setups and install it on my other W123 and see how it compares.
Here are links to some of the things used in this video:
