Hi Guys
So today , out of the blue the air conditioner in our F30 stopped working . I will be taking it into BMW to have it looked at as its still under motorplan but taught I would pass it by here for some sort of ideas on what might be the problem or could there be another bigger underlying problem with the car.
Tried switching the whole system off , played with the temp dials , the full button etc etc No cold air .
Some things I noticed ,
1) When I blip the throttle , As normal the engine rev will go up and down , but I noticed a second or two later there is another two sort of blip blip sort of exhaust noise , and the car shakes ever so slightly , Im unsure if its coming from the front by the engine or the middle of the car .
2) I notice the engine seems to be working harder , even when in park (This with the air-conditioner button on ) I feel as if the fan at the front of the engine seems to be louder? I dont see the car overheating or anything of that sort.
3) No cold air from the air-con , though the heater seems to be working fine.
4) When you press the air-con button , I hear that blip blip noise as in point 1 .
Also noticed that when driving the start stop seems to behaves in a funny way , before when you stop at a robot , the car would switch off , and stay off until you let go of the brake etc
now it switches off , then a second or two later it switches itself back on .
It might be just be , but I do feel a slight lack of power as well . Its not showing any faults on the I-drive screen though.
Any clues as to what could be the problem this car has the B48 engine .
Has anyone experienced such in their F30?
Thanks for all your assistance .
