Quick facts

- Fits: 1998-1999 BMW 323i and other vehicles

Warm air from the vents, a noisy compressor or a clutch that does not engage can mean the compressor is worn. Low refrigerant, a leak or a wiring fault would also leave the A/C weak, so rule those out before replacing the compressor. With the engine off, look for oily residue around the compressor body and fittings, and leave pressure testing to a shop.
