Hi

Hello, Im new and cant figure out how to post a new thread. My girlfriend has a 2009 mini, no S, and it over heated this am. No fans working. We just replaced the ac comp last nite. Drove with no issues till this am. Help..

 

Ok thanks, here we go. Ac compressor bracket was broken, thought it was comp untill it feel out. So I replaced the bracket and put the comp back on. I drove it last night and it was ok fine/ All normal. Then this am my girlfriend calls and says the idioty light is on, she pulls over and it dies. I go and its hot. The upper hoses are smoking hot whilst the lower radiator hose is cool. The fans are not on. Ok so heres the deal, I didnt plug up the ac to the wiring harness because system isnt charged yet, could that affect the fans?? We must tow it now 25 mi, I plugged up the comp to the harness, and it did crank up and run the 5 mi to her work, after cooling dn for 5 hrs. HELP me, was kinda hoping someone stole it while it was sitting on side of interstate but the girlfriend loves it. Fun to drive but to work on??? Thanks, Mike

 

I was in a hurry so Im sorry about the broken english I used, Fell out was not feel out and I appreciate any help. This car is driving me crazy, Im an old hotrodder and motorcycles. Small block ford or chevy or an inline 4 sport bike this car isnt, but Im learning and this site has been a major help already. This is where I learned how to get to the compressor and remove. Thanks, Mike
