e60 air cond service

[moots]

yes...most likely the condensate has iced up in your evaporator.when this happens the airflow will be somewhat reduced.This could be due to a dirty evaporator or your drain hole is partially clogged.

So how to solve? Just go to service the air con or can diy?

I recently had an air con failure, no cool air, after diagnosis it turned out to be a compressor failure. The symptoms were there for a few weeks but I ignored them thinking it was my imagination. The main symptom was the engine speed dropping about 100rpm when the car was at stand still ticking over and the compressor started, this was not present before. The next symptom was loss of cold air during a long run, I switched off the compressor and let it cool down, the cold air returned after about 10 minutes, the following few days all was good. I parked up the car for a week and upon starting it there was no cool air. After being advised by a colleague I took the car to Rasa Sayang at SS14 (Guan), he diagnosed the failed compressor, recommended that the condenser was changed and advised that a new drive belt to be fitted. All fixed in 3 1/2 hours at a price much less than I was quoted by a local branch of a tyre dealer. If you want Guan's contact please PM me.

I did mine at SSG. The owner will check and explain to you if other components are faulty. If only a valve failure, RM650 excluding gst and it is icy cool with machine flushing and new compressor oil.
Fixed 3 months ago and so far so good.
I read uk forum about this generation of compressor generally quite robust as it has this solenoid valve to shut down at limit, unless you have overfilled the refrigerant which caused whole compressor failure with requirement to flush the whole system due to broken debris.
Generally if there is sufficient pressure at the high pressure line, your compressor should be good.
Hope it help....

Naidu is definitely the best term of knowledge...he's been doing bmw aircond for so many years...but cleanliness is an issue...either he or his workers will leave their thump print every where!..dulu la..before sending your car, go visit him and see how they do things...if it ok with you then only sending your car..

Calvin,

Most likely is the compressor.

Try SSG Salak South. Just google the contact. It is the most affordable option and the owner could explain to you the reason why it failed and how to fix it. Check my thread earlier.
