Can I make my 325iX air conditioner colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

Why do I get hot air from my 325iX A/C?

An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.

What causes A/C system leaks?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your 325iX’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Is my 325iX A/C powered by gas?

Your 325iX’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

Why does the A/C in my 325iX smell like vinegar?

If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your 325iX creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why won’t my 325iX’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 325iX’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

We know BMW vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1988 BMW. Steer your BMW 325iX to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1988 BMW 325iX A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your BMW 325iX A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

325iX A/C Recharge

While your 1988 BMW 325iX’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to BMW's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1988 BMW 325iX A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting BMW 325iX A/C Problems

Hot air is a common BMW 325iX A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1988 BMW 325iX? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your 325iX — without all the sweat puddles!
