Ive looked through some of the threads on a/c problems and i seem to have most all that were stated. EX: drop in rpms at a stop, the weird noise it makes, squealing fan in 1st or 2nd fan speed. But i no one said anything about if it still blew cold air when they came to a stop. That is my extra problem... Im fine cruising around town and on the highway, but the second i stop, the ti turns into a mobile sauna. I got the a/c charged last summer bc i thought that was the problem.. I havent talked to my friend at Baron BMW.

Could it possibly be the compressor? or a fan??

I dont know if this could even be a factor, but could old vacuum lines cause a problem like this??

Any advice at all is welcome

EDIT: I looked through the Bible (bentley manual) and it said that there should be a TYPE 2 fan (9/92) and up infront of the radiator. I checked and i dont have any sort of fan infront. Does the ti not have one bc it there is not enough room. I know i have seen a fan infront of the radiators on e36 M3's.

I also have a problem with my ac. It was workign one day then a line in the front passenger side blew it has a pin hole leak or something but anyways before it broke sometimes like 95% of the time when i turned on my ac the rps's dould drop at usual then an annoying (grorooorro) sound would be heard I dont know if the compresser is bad or if i had air bubbles in the lind but i thing that in gonna get a new ac compressor and see if that fixes the problem becasue i need ac its summer in california and it gets really hot

how hard is it to change the compressor out? i'm going to take the system in to get emptied, but is removing the compressor something i can do in my garage in a couple of hours? or do i gotta take the baby in?
