Best vid out there on this issue and fix (they're some truly bad ones!). I just did my F30 and it's blowing nice and cold now. But i couldn't seem to get the dial above 25 (bottom of the green zone) on the recharging kit. Maybe a faulty dial? I stopped once it was blowing cold in the cabin as I didn't want to overcharge it.

@BJR Thank you so much! I think you did the right thing. You definitely didn't want to over presurerise the system. You can always top it up again if you notice it getting warm. Thanks again for the comment 👍🏻

I have noted some people on net saying do not use the sealant for a/c if pressure very low as the sealant needs gas in system. (Some have said big problems if resealing without enough gas in system) Do you think you could check and top up with regas to just fill it a little. Then add sealant circulate it, and then regas to Norma level.

@Simon Tredwell Hi Simon, yes I have heard the same recently and thinking about it that could make sense. The sealant would definitely move around the system better with some pressure in the system. So I think what you said is a great idea! 👍🏻thanks for sharing!

Great video! Help. My e92 335i has a slow leak. Leaked out (to point air con is warm) in 4 days, garage told me it needs new condenser. Now leaks out after 12 days. Any downside to using the stp variant that claims to stop leaks? Not sure if that is what you used here

The bottle contains other stuff that might not be compatible with your car. I think if you keep the bottle upright, only the refrigerant would get in the car while the other stuff would stay in the bottle. For the E46 and other similar generation BMW, the oil needed is PAG 46. The oil in the bottle may not be that.

@@TheBimmerFixer Didn't fine much on Google, however I did open the hood to take a look. Found 2 rails with black caps on so guessing one of them is the low pressure rail. Also followed that down and when I touched the metal pipe leading UpTo the to it was freezing cold. AC was on 20min prior to the inspection so I am assuming this would be the low pressure connection?

Hello mate, I would say you could probably get 2 depending on the size of the system in that particular car and if it wasn't completely empty. That said if you were only topping up a system and there wasn't any leaks you could definitely get more.

Interesting you've done everything right so should be working 🤔 are you recirculating the air in the cabin? That's the button with the arrows in a circle direction. This is very strange, short of the ac compressor failing im not sure what it could be but that said if the compressor was dead you wouldnt get any change in temp so I think the compressor would be fine. Could just need a little time to circulate around the system. I would run the engine with ac on full for another ten minutes and check the pressure again. Keep me posted 👍
