![[BMW] A/C Not Blowing Cold Air Anymore? TRY THIS!](/img/1.gif)
Very useful video. Will check this out..
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.
Thank you for your information !! It was very informative 👍🏾
Great information. Thank you.
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.
Would it stop hot air coming in when u turn on air conditioning?
Thank you for the video mate....we want moore mooooore
More coming soon my friend... I upload every other day👍🏻
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.
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 .👍✌
Good stuff mate!
Thnxs so much bro ❤
OMG mate! Get to the point already!
😂
When the video is over 10m you can add more adverts. Hence the long video which can be summarised in 2m
No it’s 8 mins to do that
I got 2 ads before the video even started ...
Yeah RUclips will display ads that suit your likes and needs👍🏻
Wise words George!
JOHN FREAKING MADDEN OF AIR CONDITIONERS SERIOUSLY IS THIS HOW ALL BRITISH PPL THINK? THANK YOU FOR 4MIN OF COMMON SENSE APPRECIATE IT MATE!
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 😈
Fuuuuuuuuark couldn't even imagine being without AC in Saudi
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.
You’re welcome man, glad to help!
You all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Ayden Isaiah instablaster :)
@Milo Mathew thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Milo Mathew It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
I have X4 and driver side does not blow cold air but passenger does. What could be the issue? thanks
Thank you very much now I know why my AC was not working so well
You’re welcome!
Hi George,my F10 stopped blowing any air today through the front vents , the only air i get is in the rear vents in the middle, any idea what could be wrong?
Hey George, great video! I used this today and managed to get that icy cool air flowing. I had turned it to hot in the winter but had completely forgotten :/ By the way should the radiator pusher/cooling fan be on when the AC is on? Mine seems to stay off, in fact I think it is always off, do you know why this could be? (525d 2005 M57)
@@GeorgeAusters a donation to answer a question 😂😂😂😂
My 2007 525d SE with Manual A/C doesn't have that AUC sensor near the offside cabin filter housing despite having provision for it ??? Is this only fitted to cars with Climate Control or should they all have this AUC sensor ?
Hi George, where is the low pressure line on a N47 engine to recharge the gas please?
Great videos mate, well done.
Could another issue be needing a re-gas?
Cheers Bob. Of course mate. If you use your aircon frequently though it should never need regassing - unless of course you have a leak!
Great video. 7:39 You probably should have lead with that.
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.
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 👍
Honestly mate so many people still are not aware of this and it’s so simple! Glad to have saved you a trip to the garage👍🏻
George Austers me too cheers dude👍
👍 thx george
No problem David!
“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 😂
😂
💀💀💀💀💀😂
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
Will this work on 2010 bmw 750li x drive?
I need to know how to check the high compression side to see if the Compressor is working OK.
It takes several minutes to start working when it's above 90 degrees outside in Las Vegas.
It will take a bit of time to cool the cabin, that’s normal
what about the pressure switch?
What does it mean when the AC turns on by itself ? Does replacing this part fix that problem?
It’s supposed to
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
I had halfords “pressure” test my system before charging 60quid to refill. Was perfect for a day and the next morning the ac blew warm again....now im thinking my lines must be leaking ! as the fan, pullies, belts and sensors etc are all working good ... any ideas ? And not the obvious to not use halfords aha .
I have the exact same model
Yes they should test for leaks before refilling. Did they say how much gas was in before they did? Have you setup your Idrive settings?
I looked around at refill prices and 60 seemed around average for a re gas.. I witnessed the gauge personally read in the green zone .....halfords actually say that they only refill after a positive test reading. I went back the next day and they filled it again free of charge (this time by the manager and not a 17 year old and same problem,working that day and not the next . Seems i will have to change each part starting with the cheapest and work though the system :( i drive settings also all the way down and ok there
MY 2005 E65 Got none of this iDrive stuff, even stuff off top gear like "how long the lights stay on"
Got an AUC sensor code but my air conditioning works. Just doesn’t blow cold. Would the sensor cause it to not blow cold ? Or shut off the system completely.
It will stay blow cold with the auc sensor out
Hi George I have a 530d m sport E60, I had my air con re gassed yesterday, the guy said that it was holding pressure with no leaks but my air con compressor was not kicking in, belts are all turning but center of the pulley is not turning, any help would be appreciated thanks.
Clutch on the compressor gone
@@GeorgeAusters thanks mate, not what I wanted to hear 😭
Super I will know someone who gives me some knowledge of E61 535 with I have after my brother He was big big fan off BMW (die i april in 36 ages after 2 years fighting with f... cancer) Good job Mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers mate, sorry to hear!
George Austers Before He past Away he asked me to put M5 brakes to his 535 so im gonna say calipers with disc from m5 e60 they fit good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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?
I have the same problem with you
@@PhuongNguyen-vj7dw I haven’t changed it so I can say this is the problem but you may wanna check out the heater valve. They say those get stuck overtime and that stops the cold 🥶 air from blowing
I’ll try it. Thank you Sleepy Joe
Hi mate, Checked the pulley and it's spinning freely, No damage on the condesnsor, settings all on cold, Still no cold Ac, Had it regassed but no leaks as well.
Same here
Ever fix it same thing
Hi I have a BMW 330xi 2006 and when I turn the AC on it don't blow air at all I don't get no AC or no heat what does that mean
Blower motor gone, there is a recall to replace it
Hi
I retrofit climate control from pre-lci to lci and the compressor air-conditioning not turn on
I did pin 21 but it's not working
Can you have any idea
Thanks
Have you done all the coding?
@@GeorgeAusters no I Don't
@@GeorgeAusters only need coding?
@@GeorgeAusters My a/c compressor isn't turning on. Just had the system charged too. Could it be because my CCC unit died?
Don’t know if yours is the same but my e60 if you press the little seated man on the temp control it brings that setting up instead of going into I drive
Yes you’re correct🙌🏼
Where do you purchase your vanos solenoids from pal
@@mrstrawhat32 I haven't purchased any yet mate
George Austers ok thanks mate , just getting a couple of codes up for them so going to change them , just wondered if you can get them anywhere else apart from bmw 👍
So is there a way to sync both sides? I mean if the driver selects one temperature, that all the vents are adjusted to that? Most cars have a sync button to do that. I don't see anything like that on the E6x.
Just set them to same temp
@@GeorgeAusters Ah snap. Now thats not a good design imho. But at least they fixed it in the later versions (F series).
Hi mate, I don't have the AUC sensor, Is there any other location for it?
On fan shroud
@@GeorgeAusters I'll have a look mate, Thank you
Does anyone know why the a/c would only work when the button is held down? It blows cold if I keep the button pressed but when you let go, it doesn't blow cold at all.
Scan the car for codes
Did u found the problem out
@@rubengonzalez8503 I just replaced the a/c button and that solved the problem 😊
This temp setting in I drive is the stupidest thing someone ever thought about at BMW. makes absolutely no sense at all.
I agree, I’m not sure why it’s in place👊🏻
Agree with you 100%. In my wife's Audi you set the temperature and taking ambient temperature and sunlight in account, the car makes the temp feel exactly what you set it to. Lowering or increasing of fan speed and direction is automatic. In my BMW, you set the temp but then you can set the fan speed as well. You can then set the temp again in the screen despite what is set on the dial.
Abdullah Al-Munim it’s completely pointless. I would understand if it had 3 options on the dial, like cool, neutral and warm so it can be set with the season for some
Fine tuning. But why would 9 be needed?
on every other bmw its a dial next to the face vents. Designed for giving you cool air on your face on long drives to keep you awake, whilst keeping the cabin warm
compressor is not spinning, everything else is OK. Had just just refilled and fix the leaks, no problems left and last summer it all worked, but the compressor wont engage. No even if i tell it to engage with computer, any ideas ? BTW compressor works fine if i apply power to it manually, just the car wont let it turn on.
Did u fix it bro mines doing the same, like the car isn't telling the compressor to switch on.
@@JUNK4UCREW I found the problem but isnt fixed yet, set a time for it for tomorrow. Mine still had a leak after the last repair, and its the evaporator sadly so its gonna be a major price tag.
My x3 2010 ac not working in idle..how to fix it
Did you try everything in this video? Is your belt moving on idle?
What year? Different display at my bmw e60 523i 2008
Late 2008 this is when the CIC was released
Not using AC will cause the system to dry up and not be lubricated by gas/oil. So use It regularly to stop leaks and also not seize compressor
Yep spot on mate
Yes mine made a light grinding noise as if a bit of anodisation had formed on the motor rotor or cylinder, but it’s almost quiet again now. I waz without it fir 5 mnths so I’m happy it’s not seized up👌
What should I do if the ac system is seized up?
@@kyefang8278 replace compressor. If the compressor has blown and expelled shrapnel you will need to replace every part of the system including hoses
You know what is really interesting ,how your car is functioning with that accessory belt backwards?
It’s not backwards
Ok sorry
Hey mate have you done a condenser replacement video?
I’ve bumped my 5 series n47d20c f11 bent it and the gas went up to space 🤣
Not yet mate sorry
Thanks mate it’s look ing like a simple but the top left condenser pipes are a nightmare to separate. I’ll finish tomorrow. ✊
@@CharcoalChaos Are they not just held in by a bolt?
@@GeorgeAusters hi pal, thanks for this and yes you’re correct, however the supplier gave me the one from your 520d, a 2008 model, so he left the old pipes on and I had to sharpen a screwdriver use lots of wd and hit it hard lots to break it open. When I removed my covers to it stalk it I saw that I had the horizontal entry pipes instead of the vertical, so I had to put her back together, drive back to Leighton buzzard to collect the correct one for my F11 which was a great result as this one fell open when I undone the 2 Allen bolts. All done mate and freezing cold air for the summer✊👍
My F10 doesn’t have that option in settings. 😒
👍 nice e60 George what engine you got
N47 in the E60. N52 in the E87 👍🏻
The AUC sensor isnt in the place as yours is even though the housing for it is. Where else could it be.? 520d 2008 lci
It should be in the same place mate
That's odd do you think bmw main dealer have taken it off they are the only people who have serviced it from new.
Found it. Cooling fan housing. Cheer mate. Love the vids.
Nice one mate. That’s interesting though. Does it look like it’s been relocated?
Apparently if it's got the Advanced AC system that's where it goes.
Can/do you have E92 A/C knowledge?
This video applies to all cars
George Austers ok, I have hot as hell drivers side, FREEEEZING cold passenger side. low mileage, Basic 2011 E92 (no idrive) any ideas?
Why is ac turning on and off radomly
My car just blows hot air please tell me what to do
Watch this video
👍🏼
❤️
You gotta stay cool
Always bro!
Is your timing chain making a funny noise?
It’s been replaced mate. I have the entire process in videos on my channel
I know lol I was taking the piss
Haha oh
Quality work btw 👍
its new, got a good 20,000 of life left
There are no such settings in the CCC idrive system
Go to climate settings👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters Thanks for responding! I did and saw the vent timings only. I did not see the hot/ cold dial. Do I need to flash my CCC to a new version?
unrelated but you look like you could be an mma fighter from dagestan
😂
Did you say E60 5 series or "E65 series"
I know you said E60 5 series but it just sounded like "E65 series" 😂
Haha yes E60 5 series
Jesus, how many more bushes to go around?!!!
This needs to be edited down to about four minutes...
Chocolate teapot
So damn annoying when people just take forever explaining shit adding absolutely pointless words
Great video but BMW is badly engineered. All their brands are too fragile
Get to the point all this extra talking does not get you more views
Really bothers me how he says air con every single time… bruh it’s AC. Don’t make your own abbreviation..
We say Air con in the UK… it’s short for air conditioning
Bla bla bla, nothing sensible
Are you sure?
@@GeorgeAusters more than
You talk to much...saying the same thing over and over
Engine sounds horrible 😔
Sorry to hear man!
