AC Decided to crap out on me

WOPALX · 06-27-2011, 02:51 AM

I'd had a few musty smells of late when using the AC.

Then it started to get a few weird noises when running.

And today it simply decided to stop cooling at all.

Any suggestions for a Sydney based AC expert with bimmers? Would rather not be raped by the $tealership.

Ouch, doesn't sound good. Maybe check with Steve if either he or if has mates who can help? When was the AC filter last changed?

further incentive to upgrade me thinks!

Agree with suff, get a C63 AMG then make the dealer tune it to CL63 output. EASY way of eating M3's, plus you have the added benefit of having better soundtrack then an M3. Food for thought.

But douches drive C63's and WOPALX isn't one

Agree that the C63 has a great sound track, only issue is I'm under 60 so getting an MB is not an option as they are old mens cars

You'd look good in a C63, especially if your parents paid for it

A little off topic but I've been searching for options for an indy mechanic in Sydney and was wondering if this is the "Steve" you guys have recommended in previous posts?

Thanks!
