  1. How to Diagnose Air Conditioning System Issues in a BMW

  2. BMW vehicles are especially advanced when it comes to driver comfort, and their air conditioning systems make driving a lot more comfortable.

  3. In hot temperatures, heavy traffic conditions air conditioning is critical, as it provides us relief from the heat and a malfunction in A/C can be quite upsetting.

  4. Diagnosing air condition system issues in a BMW is not much different from that of other cars.

  5. In fact, there is a series of steps to follow and questions to ask before you bring the car to a professional.

  6. If your BMW is experiencing air conditioning failure, the following information might be helpful for you to know.

  7. Steps for a differential diagnosis

  8. A differential diagnosis is a method that automotive professionals use to find the cause of the problem, experienced by their client.

  9. For instance, there is a sequence of questions to be asked, when trying to isolate the specific part of the BMW that needs replacement or repair.

  10. When it comes to air conditioning problems, these are the three most important questions to ask yourself:

  11. Does the air conditioner blow air at all?

  12. If after turning on your A/C to full blast, nothing happens at all, it could be simply related to an electrical switch issue with the air conditioning button.

  13. Is the air coming out adequately?

  14. If air blows even the slightest bit, but is weak, then the problem could be traced to the blower motor or HVAC blower.

  15. Is the temperature of the air cool or warm?

  16. If the temperature of the air coming out of the vents is warm or not cool at all, then the issue could be related to a Freon, or refrigerant, leak.

  17. Possible causes of air conditioning failure

  18. There are different possible causes of air conditioning failure, and this elicits the need for a professional to perform a differential diagnosis.

  19. Isolating the source of the problem is important in order to save time and money on repair work.

  20. These are the two most common reasons for air conditioning failure in a BMW vehicle:

  21. 1 Faulty air compressor

  22. The air compressor generates power, causing the air to blow through the vents.

  23. If the air compressor begins to diminish in performance or is in need of repair, it could cause the flow of the air coming through the vents to be extremely dampened.

  24. 2 Freon leaks

  25. Freon is the fluid that circulates through your air conditioning system and causes the air coming out to be cool.

  26. The reason of warm air could further be due to any other number of issues including O-ring failure or a particular seal deterioration.
