If the air that flows when you turn on the air conditioner for relief on those hot and humid days is not as chilly as it should be, your BMW 318I A/C condenser may be the source of your discomfort. The BMW 318I A/C condenser is mounted in front of the vehicle radiator, just behind the grille. Using a long tube that travels a winding path through a network of cooling fins, the BMW 318I A/C condenser dissipates the heat absorbed by the air conditioning refrigerant as it cools the cabin air, reducing its temperature so that it is ready to return to the evaporator to cool the passenger area again.

The position of the BMW 318I A/C condenser is quite helpful to its function, with the flow of air that travels in through the grille to aid in the cooling of the refrigerant. However, the BMW 318I A/C condenser can be damaged by the small rocks and other debris that can find their way through the grille to strike its delicate cooling fins.

The areas that have become damaged by such items are vulnerable to the destructive work of corrosion, its start aided by the intrusion of the moisture of snow and rain, as well as the road salt that splashes up from the road to coat the surface of the BMW 318I A/C condenser. This can cause leaks in the BMW 318I A/C condenser, allowing the refrigerant to escape, greatly reducing the efficiency of the system.
