Air conditioning issue

Mexicobmw6 · 11-13-2020, 05:15 PM

Hey guys,

I have a 2012 650iX. AC was working fine and then all of a sudden a few days ago, bam, stopped blowing like the Arctic. AC is very important as I live in Mexico.

Tried to refill with Avalanche https://www.acavalanche.com but says it's full. It's going to the mechanic on Monday but

Has this problem happened to anyone?

Thanks in advance

have you checked whether the compressor kicks in? The front of the pulley should spin when the compressor is engaged and stop when ac is switched off.
The compressor is driven by its own belt. have you checked the belt?(#2) It could also be the fuse to the compressor clutch. That would also prevent the compressor from spinning.

Hsppened to me this summer. Went to dealer and $500 later it's working again.
