Hi guys!


I just had my AC serviced (filled 900grams of gas and pressure tested) the other day. When I drove away from the garage, I could clearly hear a fan noise from the engine compartment that wasen't there before the service. In addition, the AC still does not blow cold crisp air, more like humid outside temperature air like before the service, even on full iceage mode!


Checking up on the fan noise, this turned out to be the fan behind the radiator, and its blowing like there is no tomorrow, all the time when I'm driving now..


I live in Norway, so its not exacly neccesary for this fan to act like this since its not very warm outide.


I fear that the AC compressor has gone bad, but it still dont make sense to me that the fan is acting crazy.. a new compressor is about 1000$ + 150$/hr in labour over here


Does anyone here have some ideas to what the problem might be? I checked I-Drive settings and fuses, all in good order..


Any help would be HIGHLY appreciated!

 

What year and model, how many miles?

 

Hi,


Its a 2006mod e61 530xd with 193 000km / 120 000miles on it

 

Signs of over charging. First time I serviced mine i overcharged it and I got the same symptoms. Try letting some out and see if that corrects your issue.
