Tools I Use!

Great video, thanks. One more thing that could also affect the AC. The heater control valve, if it is not blocking the hot water from entering the cabin, you will not get that icy air.

Good stuff bud I'm in Illinois and I found it helpful will follow too. I have one more thing you could add is that the fogging sensor also can cause this issue to happen.

I had gone on vacation and gave my e60 530i to my friend in the meantime. He messaged me saying something was wrong with the AC and it's not cooling despite making sure the mechanical stuff was fine. I knew he messed around with the iDrive and changed the AC setting. I let him sweat it out in the heat till I came back and set it back to the coldest setting. This was in Saudi Arabia during peak summer with 55c outside temperatures and even hotter inside a black car 😈

“Now obviously for the air con to work, your key has to be in the ignition, the ignition has to be on, and in-fact the engine has to be running”
I bet you had no problems reaching a word count in your school exams 😂

You can check with diagnose tool for pressure in system so you know if you do or do not have leaks. also measure resistance on compressor coil should be between 2-5 ohm. If you feed 12v directly to compressor you should here clicking noise.

JOHN FREAKING MADDEN OF AIR CONDITIONERS SERIOUSLY IS THIS HOW ALL BRITISH PPL THINK? THANK YOU FOR 4MIN OF COMMON SENSE APPRECIATE IT MATE!

[npstmit]

Thanks for that! For years, I've been having to press the MAX button to get cool air and been completely mystified why setting the dials to a lower temperature didn't activate the air-con. Reading the manual, you wouldn't have a clue that setting the temperature in iDrive at any temperature above the lowest disables any temperature lower than the level set in the idrive. Finally, I am able to enjoy the climate control system as it's supposed to work. Staggeringly bizarre and ill-thought through on the part of BMW! I knew the air-con worked because I could use it on MAX and then turn down the volume, but so grateful I stumbled across your video and I no longer have to do that. Thank you.

I have X4 and driver side does not blow cold air but passenger does. What could be the issue? thanks

[jubynalin]

[simonpeters]

Ha ha George your legend my car is all sorted the only thing I needed to sort was the A/C not cold enough I was going to get it regased and when just watched this I thought nah can’t be that simple guess what?it was set to warm turned it to cold I have ice cold A/C 🧊 🥶 I would never of thought to check that 😂 top man cheers 👍

[kardan]

Thank you for the video mate....we want moore

[familystallelsend]

Hi george, helpful vid mate, got my ac system vac tested recently(-16psi)and was all good but when pressurised with ac gas, I had a leak from the condenser after 20mins, lucky I was still at my mates ac garage and he vacuumed again and will be fitting a condenser and heading back up for a regas, turns out the vacuum test sucked a seal in, so cheap fix with a new condenser and will be regassing this weekend .👍✌

[arnoldca]

So how do you set the dial in Climate settings? You said it doesnt matter if the rotary dial is set to cold, but you did not show us how to set the dial in the LCD

[johnlever]

This temp setting in I drive is the stupidest thing someone ever thought about at BMW. makes absolutely no sense at all.

[LeedsHypnotherapist]

I have CCC system and there isn't an option to select cold or warm. The background is always red when I go to climate settings.

[martyslager]

Thank you very much now I know why my AC was not working so well

[michaeljuarez]

I noticed after I turn my defroster on and then off I have a problem after and that's when it stays hot and doesn't get cold

[malchone]

You know what is really interesting, how your car is functioning with that accessory belt backwards?

[SleepyJoe]

⁠hi mate.
I own a bmw x5 2004.
I’ve replaced the condenser, compressor, radiator fan, condenser fan, and expansion valve and still don’t have COLD 🥶 air. The most it gets is “cool”.
What am I missing?

Thank you for your information !! It was very informative 👍🏾
