Oh man, 2 weeks ago when I ordered this thing it was a nightmare, she is dumber than a damn goat. i did have to extend the tabs on top 1/2 longer. I drilled out the pop rivets and bent new tabs and redrilled and used stainless screws with locks. Just measure your old one and you will see what I mean. I had to cut my rubber grommets loose from my old condenser and I super-glued them back together on the new condenser. The fan then fit fine, Everything else fine, they got the correct line fittings, etc.

Chucker: You aren't kidding. it took me 30 minutes to order this condenser because I literally had to spell and number everything out to her. I really hope it comes in as described. I had to double check everything before I gave it the go ahead to order. Let's hope this is worth the money. I should see this in about 2 weeks (7-10 business days for shipping, apparently), so if anyone is watching this thread and waiting for my write up on it, I suggest coming back in 2-3 weeks.1989 325i - 2.7i, Holset H1C, 60lb injectors, whodwho MS-PNP.

Outside temp was 82 and pure sun today and it was blowing 42 degree air at 45 miles per hour. I turn the vent speed down to 2. I found out that my condenser from ackits was shipped from americancondensers. It was a direct fit, for the most part. I had to bend the fitting just a bit to get the hoses to line up ok. Even with that, I had to put some rubber inbetween the lines so that they would not rub. I also hooked up and "L" bracket and changed the location of the clamp on the hose from the compresser to the condenser. I am happy with the PF condenser. I am not quite sure what the idle temps are yet, I will check that over the weekend, but the around town temps are fine and for a drop in condenser, I am happy.Last edited by clydesdale; 08-12-2011, 01:54 PM.

I don't know if this will help , but friend of mine who was a factory tech at the dealer back in the e30 days told me to slightly under charge the system when you use r134 so it will blow cold . i think it maybe have to do with the head pressures , iirc.Last edited by der affe; 08-17-2011, 05:15 PM.seien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

Immajackuup, I just got mine in this morning. Looks identical to yours. Are you going to beat me to the punch and install it before I do? I am going to throw mine in sometime this weekend if I get some time and take pics and whatnot. Lemme know if you run into any issues or not.1989 325i - 2.7i, Holset H1C, 60lb injectors, whodwho MS-PNP.
