Re: BMW 325i won't take a full charge

Re: BMW 325i won't take a full charge
Tim, sorry about posting a vendor condenser product. I did it to see if I got "yeah, that is crap." I think I bought a cheap-o condenser that is not up to the task. Given that my '89 325i was a freon vehicle, I guess what standard do you build too? Replacement parts I always see as "R...

Re: BMW 325i won't take a full charge
Damn, now I know why I stayed with freon in my '78 928 when I rebuilt that system 14 years ago. (Did I buy the barrier hose and fittings from ACKits?)

Re: BMW 325i won't take a full charge
I see a heftier Nissens parallel flow unit with a/c solutions conversion kit -but only sold in the kit. I don't think that kit's compressor fits with my engine (even though they say it will).

Re: BMW 325i won't take a full charge
Such a small condenser and being serpentine does not bold well for proper cooling and R134a. Plus, from what I can hear in your video, that compressor sounds pretty bad. Make sure the electric fans are working correctly. I see a supplier that shows a PF replacement condenser for this vehicle. But n...

Re: BMW 325i won't take a full charge
Because I know you are all waiting for my next update ;^) I managed to get in 27oz of refrigerant. And the static pressure is sitting at 110psi. And at 2k rpm, low is 50psi and high is 180psi. The vent read 60F with my laser temp gun. I guess I should try it without the hose misting the condenser.

Re: BMW 325i won't take a full charge
You're pushing 300 psi and climbing. Then it shuts off. I would think there are other issues besides an expansion device. Mist the condenser and she when the pressures do. If that clanking noise is the compressor. That sounds horrible. Tim, it looks completely different from yesterday when I mist t...
