Re: Air Con Not Working !!!

So its looking like a new compressor is needed :( Also the one you listed is for a SD one, mine is just a D (single turbo) although i dont know if they are the same or not. I will have to do some ...

Advice please

Hi......I have a 2009 E70 3.0d sport. I just got back from the school run and noticed a hissing noise coming from what I thought was the nsr tyre. I left it a while and then checked again and the tyre was fine, which then led me to believe it was the rear air suspension. Basically after 15 mins or s...
