Noise when ac (aircon) is on - BMW

Did you experience the same kind of noise?

[@DaKine96791]

I have a 08 528 with an issue with the AC as well. Brought it to the shop and they replaced the tensioner pulley including belt. Problem seemed to be fixed. After a few days a similar noise is back but worse. Only is hear it with AC on and sitting at idle. When driving the noise seems to be gone. Hoping it is not the compressor. How much did you end up paying?

What was the problem of this noise?

Squirrel cage in your ac blower motor needs to be cleaned out

Thanks for your comment, It turned out to be the compressor on its way out. I had the system flushed out and vaccum the freon and air inside; Applied ac compressor oil and refill with freon. Seems like the noise got a lot less. However, i feel like it will only give me a year or 2 and the ac compressor shall be replaced.

Yes, replacing the compressor solved it, inevitably bro
