1995 BMW 325i with air conditioning issues?

the fan works (as in moves air) but its warm. The freon is not the issue, thats been checked but not by someone who is certified for BMWs. He said the electrical to the freon was bad. Any ideas? Comments?

The electrical to the freon?



Is he certified to work on vehicle a/c systems? (In some states it is illegal to "mess" with the a/c system unless you are certified. I really don't care about that so much, but you should know everything there is to know about a vehicle a/c system before you attempt to fix it yourself.)



A '95 BMW has R-134a not R-12 (Freon). They stopped using R-12 in the early 90's.



How did he test to see if there was refrigerant in the system? He had to have a gauge, and the compressor would have to be running to get an accurate reading. So if the compressor is running and there is enough refrigerant, then there should be nothing wrong...get my point? If you just hook up the gauge to the low-side service port when the a/c is not on, the reading will be right around 50+ psi's. THAT IS NOT ACCURATE AT ALL because there might not be any refrigerant in the system! Your compressor, when engauged will drop the psi's to about 30-35 psi's if the system is to the proper level with refrigerant.



Try this...
