My excuse is i'm getting to old and need a/c to survive in the heat lol.

Sounds like your compressor is out of hydraulic fluid, which means it's no bueno.

So i can buy a used compressor and slap it in but i read somewhere that i need to change out some seals in the unit to be compatible with r134?

[QUKBMER]

You just need to get r134 valve connectors for the high and low side where the hoses connect on to evac and recharge the a/c system.

I love having a daily with A/C, bluetooth, power everything, and plenty of power. Then having a second car to get wild in is a nice problem to have.

Now you just need a bike to take unnecessary risk and you're all set.

Just got my daily e36 back on the road, AC full blast all day. feel like a proper human again. Also didn't realize how damn loud the e30 is on the highway... e36 interior was eerily quiet

No motorcycles for me. My Schwinn is the only bike I will own

Idk, I'm digging the whole a/c thing, haven't turned it off once since yesterday.
Getting older and fatter, it's definitely a must.

If only A/C could reach the places that mattered most

I believe those are already there. My car was converted to 134 back in 2004 (it has a conversion sticker). I've charged the system with regular store bought 134 canisters before so i think those fittings are the right ones. So it's a straight compressor swap for me? I read about draining and flushing the lines to remove metal from the lines as well.

Do your m3's not have ac ?? :crazy:

R12 was banned and expensive. Instead of using freeze 12,etc... I like many others decided to remove the compressor and do without. It's fine since i don't commute in them but it's still nice to have. The s14 really didn't like the compressor anyway. At least not that kind of compressor.

[djmossm42]

So the only way to have AC is to convert the system to 134 if it hasn't already been done?

What's the average cost to do this?
