The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

That's a weird a/c issue

@san: No idea. I've read that it your AC starts only blowing cold in your middle vents but your side vents are hot, it means you're running low on refrigerant and the system needs to be recharged. Dunno if it's the same case here.

Ya I have heard that too... But the issue is only with the vents at the footwell... Weird I know But the diy I posted seem to talk about the exact same issue... I guess il have to try and see...

Any luck, San?

For anyone who has refreshed their lower grille by spray painting it, was there a particular paint you used that you liked?

I haven't tried fixing it yet... Since the weather is getting colder it doesn't really bother me that much... I know I'm just being very lazy... This weekend I will be installing the konis at Dave's (just_george) place, so will tackle the AC issue probably early next month...

Fair enough, I'm sort of in the same boat. I don't think my AC issue is 100% fixed but it works well enough, and now that I'm headed into the fall there won't bee too much need to fix it.

You'll love the Konis. I've had mine in for a couple of weeks now and they're great. I set them to 3/4 turn from soft on all corners and it rides much better than my old shocks/struts. Good luck.

Thanks! I think I will go with the same 3/4 turn from soft...

What is wrong with ur AC??

It just hisses when I turn it on, suggesting either my compressor is failing or I'm low on refrigerant. I tried filling it a couple months ago and it went away but now it's back so...who knows. Probably have it assessed professionally next spring.

Hmmm... Mine hisses too, since I bought it... But the AC blows ice cold, except for he recent issue... Now you have me thinking if I have another issue... Haha...

Maybe I need to go softer. Mine has a bit of a bone-jarring effect when I hit a dip, etc.
