Sup. ...and your welcome mike. :D

i predict charge lasts for 2 weeks tops.

Why's that? It was done at a shop owned by a family friend and they were having a special to get your air recharged for $87 in June. And it was done with one of those machines that removes all the old air first.

Just remember. A/C systems only lose their charge if they have a leak. How big the leak is decides how long your A/C will work for. 8)

I have been masturdebating getting my ac fixed in the e28. Would be nice...

What are some ways to prevent leaks? I think eventually I want to put A/C in my car, this summer is going to be my test to see how I do without it. I have most of the parts, but will need something for the lines because of the 24v swap

It needed to be recharged because when my uncle and I replaced the cylinder head a few months ago we disconnected the air conditioning so we could get to the front of the engine. It still blew cold air and there was still air in the system before we disconnected it.

Let me know how that works out for you, PO completely took mine out and gave it to me in a box when sold me the car.

I know of a guy in simi valley that re-charges r12 still. ;)

It's about $300 but it blows ice cold.

How do you know it blew cold if you bought it with a broken timing belt? O.o

Justt a feeling. r134 in an old r12 system is generally hit or miss.

All this a/c talk reminded me i have to change my condenser fan on the white e30 lol. The motor in burnt out,its got over 300.000 miles on it.

Terry helped me with my a/c three years ago and it still works! Granted, I almost never use it though.

I havent driven my white car in a loooong time. Fired her up and took her to work...s50 is fun but nothing puts a smile on my face like an eager m20. Swap thoughts destroyed.

Haha I think this is where we first met love <3

Driving with no AC in a suit to work gets old, fast.

true, but I start work at 9am so its usually not too bad that early. Then I sit in an airconditioned building for the next 8 hours ;D we'll see though, the worst is yet to come

Have your suit and shirt on a hangar. Drive to work in undershirt & get dressed in parking lot. Saves you from the sweaty pits of despair.
