Air con

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,
I've got a 1989 325is with a/c which doesn't work.  The fan in front of the radiatior doesn't like turning and keeps popping fuses.  I've been told it's called the 'condenser fan' but am having a lot of trouble finding a replacement part by searching the net.  I understand that a/c was quite rare on these cars(?) so I don't like my chances of finding one in a scrappy and the dealer will want an extortionate amount of money.  Can anyone be of any help to me please on sourcing such a fan?
Thanks a lot
Stuart

	Hi mate Yes you're right, aircon was a very rare option on the E30, but it was probably a bit more common on the E34, good news, as the E30 part is also shared with all E34 models, so this could make your search that bit easier. Just thought I'd mention that a new fan from the dealers is �234!
