    I have no idea what causes this noise, sometimes it’s even louder than this but I want to know if anybody who has potentially had this has gotten it fixed. If so, how did you fix it? Link to video below Weird Noise Reference Video https://youtube.com/shorts/T1eN-UgsVnU?feature=share

    Hello, I have E46 which does not blow any air from the air vents at all. Only the defroster blows air from the front windshield and from the footwells. So it's only the air vents. Planning on replacing the blower motor resistor, but why would the defroster work if the resistor is broken...

    Bought an 01 330i yesterday, and the whole hour drive home, the AC blew Ice cold. Took it out for a drive later in the day and it again blew ice cold. No issues. Take it out today, and for the first 20 min drive it blows ice cold. Park the car. Another 20 min drive and ice cold. Get in car...

    Greeting E46'ers So, when the engine is cold, I have cold air on both sides when I switch on the AC. As the engine gets hot, the air on the driver side starts warming up. The passenger side remains cold. Even when I close the passenger side's vent, it does not send cold air to the driver side...

    Asking this because I really like daily driving my bimmer but also want to make the switch to forced induction. But has anyone actually turbocharged their E46 and kept the AC. If so please enlighten me on how you did it and what kind of setup you used. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok so still fighting my ‘01 330i on the dreaded p0171 and p0174. It seems as if I have gotten it down to something with the ac. Call me crazy. I haven’t read anything in any other thread about this. But it only throws lean codes when I’m running the ac system. Any guesses?

    I drive a 2005 325XI. Air Condition is not working. I don't know much about cars, so I'll tell you what my mechanic told me. He said the car is not turning the compressor on. However, he said the compressor works when externally powered (apparently it's a 12V power), and it works when he...

    Hi all. I have a 2002 330xi and have had an intermittent issue with my air conditioning system for a while now. The system works fine most of the time, but when I park the car in the sun on a warm day the air conditioner starts and blows very hot air out all the vents and the air never cools...

    Hi guys, I have a 330ci and yesterday I removed 11.5 kgs of rubbish out of the engine bay. This included all 4 ac hoses, ac compressor and it's mounting frame, ac belt and some ac tank from behind the fender and the ac belt. The reason for that was that I never use ac, little weight saving in...

    I've searched around a bit for answers. Haven't found anything yet. Here are the symptoms: Blows warm about 50% of the time. Unresponsive to thermostat setting. It doesn't matter how I modulate the fan power, it either blows full blast or not at all. I.e., even if the fan is set to the...

    The A/C on my '01 325xi wagon is acting up. Sometimes it won't blow cold air and then I will hear the A/C engage, make that very faint hissing sound and begin to blow cold air. Then randomly it will stop blowing cold again. If I turn off the AC button then turn it back on, sometimes that will...

    The ac went out in my brothers 330i, the fan would not turn on at all. We change the FSR and tryed again but nothing happened. So we took it to an shop and they said the blower motor was bad. We took the motor out and checked the motor with a battery charger and it spun. we put it back in the...

    Before I head over to the nearest Auto Part store, I would like your opinion guys. Currently I own a 2002 325i which is currently having issues blowing cold air. I believe it started when the underside of my car got destroyed due to a unexpected dip (will post a pic later) but here is an...

    For a while I my 325i's AC would stop working at random times, but it would come back on 10-15 minutes later. The AC light turns on, as well as the fan, but nothing blows out of the vents. However, this would only happen every now and a again (once every few months). Yesterday, I went to turn...

    My 323i is blowing HOT air from the center vents and after about 5 minutes the air finally begins to turn cold. It is in the 90s outside. Needless to say this is very annoying. I have replaced the hot water valve. The 134a refrigerant is cooling well once the vents quit pouring out the heat...
