Exploding Air Con E30 M3
Discussion
One of the air-con pipes from the compressor gave way today and sent all the high pressure contents all over the exhaust manifold! Smoke everywhere and the oil [yes, most of the air con charge is lubricating oil]caught fire... Not a huge deal as the flames soon burnt out but I learned enough today to buy and extinguisher and advise all E30 M3 owners with Air Con to check the pipe that runs about 2 inches infront of the exhaust manifold.
I was going slowly and was able to pull over, had I been on the motorway then the fire might have been more severe!
Cheers,
Dave.
