We have an Audi and a BMW. BMW corporate has been great and has covered brake jobs and covered a portion of our AC condenser replacement.

I replaced the clutch with an OEM Valeo, converted it to a single mass flywheel with a complete kit, serviced the supercharger, installed a new radiator support (the original was damaged in one corner), a new Mishimoto radiator with a silicone hose kit, a new thermostat, water pump, new OEM BMW oil pan, gasket and bolts, new engine mounts, a new Racing Dynamics intercooler, a new OEM water pump with its filter, a new aluminum Canton Racing expansion tank, a new 15% supercharger pulley and a new Craven belt, new NGK spark plugs, a new Nissen A/C condenser, semi slicks racing tires, new Rotors and Pads Carbon ceramic on the 4 wheels, and inside I replaced the cloth seats with heated English Lounge Leather seats that I got and restored with a friend from a crashed 2005 S.

I don’t know what year you have but there is a service bulletin/warranty extension for the ac condenser on the 18-20 year models. Warranty extended 10 years from original purchase date. I just had mine replaced under warranty yesterday. I ran it for 5 minutes on lowest setting beforehand and it was coming out like 67 degrees. Same thing afterwards and it’s coming out 50 degrees.

I have a 2019 Atlas Highline. About 95,000 kms on it. Only major problem has been a/c condenser. Replaced under factory extended warranty. Other than that, no issues. Love the car.

I just replaced the AC condenser in my fiancé's 2004 Honda CRV. I did vacuum the system for 45 minutes and everything is sealed. The system is blowing cold but I'm not really seeing snowballs coming out of the vents.

During the rebuilt I installed a new condenser, new O-rings, new accumulator (drier), new orifice tube w/ new O-rings. Then I vacuumed down the AC system for half a day and since it was holding vacuum fine I recharged it with straight R134a (no sealer chemicals). It seemed to work fine in the beginning but that was when it wasn\u2019t that hot outside and now in the summer heat I can tell that something is not working right. The symptoms are usually delayed cooling by up to 15 minutes and even then it seems to cool for a while and then blows warm again.

A/C condenser. Each of these visits were at least $1000, the AC condenser over $2k.

the position of the ac condenser which is susceptible to rocks hitting it and leaking, resulting in hot air on a hot day

Tick when running from the a/c condenser. Heard that's common, so I'd guess first thing to die will be a/c at some point.
