All, first time posting in roughly 8 years (it's good to be back). This post is more to vent if anything and to see if anyone else has had this problem / bad luck. I recently replaced the a/c compressor and drier on my 1998 M3 sedan. Previously, when the A/C was turned on (compressor clutch...

My A/C compressor apparently quit working and a replacement so far is about $750.00 for the part does anybody know how I can beat this cost? Are the A/C compressors compatible with other models?

Oh NO! Smoke with AC ON (Alternator was culprit) Ok, so today I decided to run to the store to pick up some oil to do an oil change, and I'd say about after 30 min of driving, im at the light and all of the sudden, i see smoke from the engine, not alot though but it was very thin and not thick...

Hey guys wassup just made an account! So I need help my serpentine belt snapped on me yesterday while I was at a light. Lost Power steering, battery light came on, luckily I was a few blocks from my friends home! So I got it towed to a local shop here in des Moines, Wa, where they have done...

Ok, so I was gone for a bit and my wife complained the A/C stopped working. When I got back, I popped open the bonnet to find the A/C Clutch plate sitting on top on the undercarriage protector. I saw some other plastic or maybe metal, have yet to pull off the protector to see what all is sitting...

Hi everyone! So I have already looked through all the results of the search function for my problem but I've found nothing that matches up so far. I'll try to be descriptive as I can. I bought a 1996 318i 4 door with a 5 speed back in February 2015 and couldn't have been happier! The previous...

Ok, I have a 2005 330ci convertible. I have been reading a common problem in these threads of air cold on left and warm on right. (Peaves my girlfriend off!!!) Well, I had the same problem. So.... per advice of these threads I found the low port and got a cold recharge kit from Advanced...

A series of unfortunate problems is plaguing me with my 2005 x3 and has really made me debate getting rid of the car. I'm hoping to get advice on next steps: The A/C compressor failed (discharging coolant) and a few weeks later the pulley seized up on the compressor and the belt broke. When...

My 2000 328i is still misfiring, engine starts shaking, causing the check engine light to come on everytime I run the a/c compressor. The same day I replaced the compressor it's still made a horrible loud noise, again causing the engine to misfire and shake. I pull over turn the car off and back...
