Good day Gentlemen & Ladies.

After some check ups on my aircon i was charge around 4k for a new compressor cause mine was broken. Bought and installed it and cars aircon was fine. Then after a while it didnt blow so air cooled as before. Go in for another check up with a friend and was told there is maybe a blockage in my pipes. So i decided to let it check out by bmw in worcester. Execellent service there by the way. They put my car on they aircon machine and afterwards told me it looks like there is maybe some problem with my pump that is not kicking in but everything looks fine.

So i traveled like 40km in an aircooled bmw and it was heaven after a period of like 1 year and 8 months. So when i leave worcester and travel to vredenburg there was a light breeze of cool air but not the aircon cooled air when i was leaving worcester for woseley. So when i visit family in cape town i pop in by an aircon service place to get feedback on what is really wrong on my aircon unit.

They check and told me there is no "compressing".

So seems i have to take my car in to an reliable aircon centre.

Any luck around here in northern cape. I just knows about car and driver in upington and kathu. Then kimberley and bloemfontein. I stay in postmasburg.

Hey Bmw.wp did your aircon not blow any cold air or did it only blow half cold on the one side and warm on the other side... I mean cold by the passenger and warm for the driver, vise-verse ??

Your heater coolant solenoid valve is maybe shot. I replaced mine for around R690 and the air was immediatly cooler in he car. Google e46 hvac solenoid and read a bit up. Will try tommorow to take some pics.
