Stay Cool Behind the Wheel: Troubleshooting Your BMW's AC Issues

From Hot to Cold: A Guide to BMW AC Repair

Air Conditioning in your car is essential to your comfort here in Arizona. If your AC is making a strange noise when you run it, it's likely time to get to a BMW specialist like those found at Arizona Bimmer Motor Werks in Scottsdale and Mesa.

The Importance of Regular AC Maintenance for Your BMW

If you hear a loud squealing noise, you'll want to have your BMW's serpentine belt checked. You can spray the serpentine belt with water and take your BMW in for service if the noise doesn't stop. If you hear a hissing sound when you turn the car off, it might be as simple as the car equalizing pressure by moving the freon to the other side of the expansion valve. However, there are more severe causes of squealing that may need repair. This is the simplest way to check the issue. If you have a buzzing noise if you accelerate, you may have too much freon in the system. Failure to get the BMW into a shop for immediate repair risks damaging the compressor while leaving the AC unable to cool correctly. Knocking or clicking while your AC runs can indicate the mounting bolts loosening on your BMW. The final noise might be the most serious. Does the AC trigger a rattling noise in your BMW? You may need help with the compressor or idler pulley. You need to take your BMW to a shop for service right away. The best way for you to avoid problems with your AC system is to have the system regularly inspected and maintained. Ask your mechanic to set up a schedule to have your system maintenance regularly to avoid more complicated issues coming up over time.
