2003 X5 AC - Is my compressor shot!!!

[Meestahbig]

Hi - turned on my AC a few weeks ago, even though it was still winter here in the norhteast. AC was not cold... felt like nothing changed when AC was put to on. I looked under the hood. AC clutch is spinning. I can clearly see this and there is continuity/resistance in the compressor.

I hooked up my gauges to the high and low side. Essentially very little changed from when the car/AC was on vs off... pressure on both sides was about 115 psi. when running it marginally changed. high side was like 115, low side like 108... I think the compressor has DIED. it was good to me. Can someone please confirm.

Anyone have a good video about DIY compressor replacement. I never did it, but I have all of the parts (except the compressor) and all of the tools.
