I have a Mz5 2008 with approx. 75,000 miles on it. The A/C has always worked very well. Suddenly today at 88 degree F it got erratic. It stopped blowing cold air (just ambient temp air instead) most of the time. As soon as we were convinced the A/C was absolutely dead - then it would give us a cold blast for a 30 seconds to a minute - before it would kick out for another 5 minutes or so. We experienced this with the recirc on and off - and both at highway and city speeds. Anyone have this in their Mz5 before?
I hate to bring it to the dealer for the difficulty getting it there and the obscene pricing. I also can bring it to my local garage around the corner from work, where they are honest and I'm a regular for maintenance. Other facts: I subscribe to alldatadiy.com for my Mz5 and I have checked through the TSBs and whatnot there - haven't seen anything that sticks out. One other fact - I have an extended repair warranty through my insurance with a $250 deductible.
Any thoughts on what it might be and how best to proceed? Thanks in advance.
