[QUOTE="gendong, post: 747202, member: 22402"] Update on condenser issue. Did some reading and found that the issue was widely reported in 2014 in the UK. At that point, stones were blamed as the main cause, due to it the location of the condenser unit making it 'unprotected'. Scores of f10/11 were affected, resulting in a shortage of condensers across UK, with waiting time creeping to months. In 2016, Reports of failed condensers on 5 Series was admitted as failure of poor quality soldering of the condensers themselves, not stone damage. Subsequently in UK, BMW TSB notice was issued to replace. OM Fastcat is correct. Bro aoch88, true, over time it still needs to be changed. Guess mine was not replaced earlier.
