Left my 98 E39 into the dealer to have the air con looked at (was blowing lukewarm air) - has come back from the dealer with the message "Found gas has leaked from failed schraeder valve and condensor".
BMW want about £350 (about $550-ish) to put it right and I dont wanna pay them that so I have found a company that specialise in radiators and they say they can test and in 99% of cases repair the condensor.
My question, though, is relating to the schraeder value - is this a standard schraeder valve or is it BMW / BMW air con specific? Can the radiator company just use any schraeder valve or am I going to have to buy one from BMW? If so, any idea of prices?
Many Thanks
Jason
