2017 BMW i8 Air Conditioning Parts

The Carquest condenser is an integral component of the motor vehicle air conditioning system. This part condenses the refrigerant into a liquid to prepare it for entry into the compressor. The condenser is manufactured according to OEM design specifications to ensure a long life with quality performance. Exact design standards produce a seamless fit into the engine compartment.

Product Features:

• This is a parallel flow condenser that contains small micro-channels. It is highly recommended that this condenser be replaced if a failure has occurred in the vehicle’s air conditioning system that has resulted in debris contaminating the system.
• This Carquest condenser has a drier attached to it with an interior desiccant bag which will provide optimal moisture removal in the a/c system to maximize cooling performance.
• The Carquest condenser production process includes quality driven details such as using zinc-coated tubes and electrostatic paint spray at high temperatures to provide the best corrosion resistance and durability in our condensers.
• Continuous molds, laser welding machines, semi-automatic assembly stations and other advanced equipment provide quality products.
• Each condenser uses only the highest quality raw materials including pure aluminum (not substandard or recycled) to provide the highest quality standards from beginning to finished product.
• All brackets are designed per OEM specifications to ensure strength and reduce vibration and movement.
• We leak test 100% of our condensers in helium leak test chambers to ensure the product does not leak.
• Our condensers are manufactured from rigid design standards to fit with OEM dimensions.
• Each condenser design endures a series of tests that includes performance testing, vibration testing, blast testing, and salt spray testing to simulate real world conditions.
• Each Carquest condenser is packaged using superior box construction. This box is easy to open and seal. Each condenser is packaged in the box with internal protection to keep the part centered and away from the package edges.

The Premium CarQuest Vehicle Solutions line of vehicle electronics are designed for OE form, fit and function for both import and domestic vehicles. The A/C Pressure Sensor reports system pressures to the on-board computer, in turn allowing the computer to properly and efficiently control the compressor, fans and system levels. An improperly functioning A/C Pressure Sensor will provide erratic or inaccurate readings to on-board computers severely affecting system performance and function. Without reliable and accurate data from a properly functioning A/C Pressure Sensor, on-board computers are unable to protect the safety of critical components and the system as a whole which can lead to excessive wear and tear on critical components and costly system damage.

Product Features:

• Designed and manufactured with high quality materials, industry leading electronic components and strict quality controls. Engineered to exceed OE performance and to meet the uncompromising demands of service professionals.
• Direct fit replacement matches proper OE fit, form, and function and ensures trouble free installation of your A/C Pressure Sensor.
• All units are helium leak tested on fully automated mass spectrometer equipment before end-of-line testing.
• All units are tested using automated end-of-line testing equipment that pressurizes the A/C Pressure Sensor and checks full-spectrum functionality and electrical output to ensure each A/C Pressure Sensor meets manufacturing specifications before packaging

The temperature of various systems must be reported to the engine control module (ECM) as well as other operating system controllers in the vehicle. Coolant temperature, cabin temperature, exhaust temperature and ambient temperature are just a few systems reported by a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is fed 5 volts by the systems computer, within the sensor housing will be a thermistor, or dropping resistor whose resistance value will change as the temperature surrounding it changes. Changing resistance in the circuit will change the volt signal at the processor indicating the current operating value.

Product Features:

• Product constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• 100% thermo-shock and vibration tested to ensure superior performance in extreme conditions.
• 100% end-of-line tested to ensure accurate signal output providing product reliability, every time.
• Tin plated lead frame prevents corrosion and ensures a reliable terminal connection under adverse ambient conditions.
• Lead frame terminal size and location determined using image dimension measuring system or 3D laser scanner.
• Application matched components ensures system operation in like new condition.

It could be as simple as the pressure switch. This replacement A/C transducer switch is the fix for corroded terminals or a broken connector on the original switch. A direct replacement to restore air conditioning.

Product Features:

• Direct replacement – this A/C transducer switch is an exact replacement for the original switch
• Simple repair – this A/C switch replaces an existing switch with corroded terminals or a broken connector
• Easy installation – no special tools required
• Quality tested – switch has been tested to ensure proper fit and function

Carquest Accumulators and Receiver Driers are designed to store, filter and dry the air conditioning refrigerant to provide proper performance and durability for the air conditioning system. They are manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications.

Product Features:

• All parts meet or exceed original equipment standards for moisture absorption, pressure and temperature resistance, air tightness, vibration resistance, corrosiveness, and pulse pressure.
• Desiccant is 100% tested and assembled in a controlled environment to ensure performance meets or exceeds original equipment standards.
• All accumulators and receiver driers are helium leak tested prior to packaging.
• O-Rings necessary for installation are included.
