[QUOTE="theblackbeast, post: 685649, member: 19154"] [COLOR=#333333][I]Today the issue is FIXED, in bold below[/I][/COLOR] [LIST] [*]a/c compressor died because pusher fan failed [*]changed compressor and pusher fan - happy with cool air for 3 months [*]after one week changing the above , noticed the pusher fan was completely at high speed even on the very first start in the morning [*]took back to TnT Sunway but unfortunately by the time I reached there - natural wind cooled off the condenser and pusher fan speed was low [*]having to take Tan's word that all if fine - a/c broke down one fine morning [*]Naidu did first diagnosis and said all sensors ok, suggested could be the control panel. [*]One good soul from this forum swapped his control panel with mine still no luck - my unit worked well on his car. [*]Brought to Optimum, Jason advised he does not do a/c issues but forwarded me to [B]another guy @ TTDI[/B]. This person ripped my control panel front face incorrectly and said it was already like that .....:stupid:I was so pissed and drove home.[IMG]http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/images/smilies/yahoo%20covert/102.gif[/IMG] [*]Siva@e39 help to intro Brian (TTDI). He forward me to another place in Kota Damansara, where his comp was detecting evaporator sensor + pressure switch fault pusher fan fault = RM380 [*]Changed evaporator sensor + pressure switch fault = compressor clutch did not engage either. All other fuses - relays are ok. [*]He plugged the comp once more and this time it says fault with climate control panel. Car was here for 1 week now. [*]Waited there for 5 hours and the chop shop guy brought a faulty unit..........what a day! [*]Contacted back the good soul from this forum - swapped back the control panel unit from his car....praying real hard.....[IMG]http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/images/smilies/yahoo%20covert/63.gif[/IMG]..but did not work either.....my unit works in his car. [*]Did more research on the net and could not find why nothing is working.....

[*]Went around today looking for 3pin pusher fan = RM380 [*]Plugged in and the moment I was waiting for ......coooolllll air ....aaaaaaaaaaaa........:cheers: [*]However we noticed the symptom again....with first cold start the fan is spinning ready for take off...... [*]He told me if the fan continues to function like this, it will die soon = failing a/c compressor / clutch [*]Left it there for him to check on any other sensor which did not trigger fault code before the working fan was installed, just incase the comp was not able to pick it up earlier as there might not be signal flow.
