Ac not working, Checked Refrigerant, What else to do?

[shevin]

Respond 1: the can I bough has pressure measurement it was 44 PSI.
Respond 2: I didnt put it in the air, I barrowed a vaccum to suck the reffregirant and recycled it.

Update1: The fan infront of the radiator doesn't spin when I turn on the AC. how can I fix that ?

1. A static pressure of 44 psi will mean that the refrigerant charge is low, I assume that the compressor wasn't running. The low static pressure may be low enough for the low pressure switch to kick in preventing power to the compressor.

2. A standard vacuum pump does not recycle the refrigerant from an AC system, you need a recovery pump with a recovery tank to recycle the refrigerant.

To verify that it is a fan fault, you will need to get the X scan as suggested at the beginning. The fan fault will be located in the DME module, or you can buy a new fan and install it and hope that it will correct the problem.

The bumper cover will have to be removed in order to remove the old fan and install the new fan. Fan prices range from a couple of hundred dollars to 600 dollars for an BMW OE fan. I would stay away from the cheapest fan as they are cheap for a reason, no quality control so the fitment is probably off and no guarantee.

It's about a 3 to 6 hour job depending on your skill, and the type of tools you have (regular hand tools or power).

It's about a 800 to 1200 dollars job if you brought it in depending if it's a dealer or an Indy.
