Aircon Microfilter...

[tkk]

Dear All,Do anyone have done the changes for Microfilter for our E34 before? my car recently not as cold as compare to few years back... as done some research in the web. it might cause by Microfilter Dirty... is that true? Any Air Con expert can introduce me? i'm located in PJ... also what is the prices normally for Microfilter?Thanks,

I do not think it was due to the microfilters. Check it out at Naidu 019-2110554, Jalan Gasing (behind Shell station)

if you feel that the aircond is not as strong as previously...then maybe it is caused by the stuck(dirt) microfilter..naidu charged me RM148 for it...

hm...time for you to get your aircond serviced? when was the last time you did it? maybe you could ask naidu to service your compressor (before it burns) and also see if it's time to change the receiver drier...after that, add some gas and your aircond will be as cold as freezer...

cheers

Thanks Guys... i have called Naidu. He told me maybe the microfilter + something he will check for me on next Monday ~~appointment already made...

My case is the aircon take long to cold...when hot weather 30+c will take about 5-8min to get cold... also my air blow out @ No1,2 is not strong seems like no blower at all... normally i have to turn on No.3 and Max.. not sure will microfilter help me.

Anyway check the last record.. the services of the air con already 3 year back... also i found that my Thermostat maybe need to change also.

How much will be the Thermostat cost me? again need to prepare some $$$ to meet Naidu...

By the way, Naidu only services air con only or he also do the services for BMW? heard he also driving a E34

Very likely your microfilter is clogged up since last service was 3 yrs back. Also probably your aircond gas not enough that's why it takes sometime to get cold. Can help you to get the microfilter at RM70. if you want but have to install yourself lah.:wink:

Hi rtgp / All,

Has changed the microfilter (RM145) + aircon Thermostat (RM65) + labor (RM35)...I have attached the pictures for the microfilter for my car...

by the way, what brand is your microfilter? maybe next time can buy from you... so can save some $$$... the guy told me this is original "MAHLE" and i'm not sure as i never change before..

Anyway, the guy told me the blower got leaking air somewhere in below the dashboard near to passenger seat. Therefore my air blow are not strong enough...

Do anyone know how to fix the air blow leak? do we need to take out the whole dashboard?

Thanks,

i do change this with the filter and labour in less than RM100 last year

where do you change it brother J-E34? is the filter original? what the guy told me is Original is RM145 and normal is RM70 only!!!

 

[j-E34]

bro tkk, i change it at kuchai lama jool air-con, coz the boss is my dad long long time fren, he say okie then i also okie lor so i not sure its ori not...but the filter colour and the zip zac open way is look same as what you post

 

[tkk]

then Naidu is costly man !!!

 

[king82]

if i'm not mistaken, he offered me oem and also original...i went for the original for RM148. perhaps the next time you need to get your filter changed, you will know that you have a choice, oem or original...so far, still think naidu is reasonable la... =)

I suggest you do nothing if there is no problem. Yes, the entire dashboard needs to be removed...etc The "ordeal" is not for the faint hearted!

 

[LiteBulb]

hahahaha, if the ordeal is handled by the ideal person, then should be fine rite? just afraid that the whole dash either vibrates or some other weird loose sound will be born.

my aircon takes sometime to cool. so thought of getting it serviced.

No need as changing the microfilters is a straight forward DIY job.

Litebulb, I suggest you pay Naidu a visit. He is among the best in the dealing with BMW airconds. He changed my cooling coils...etc. Excellent job!
