Dynocomped C43K, 08 X5

$70 should do it, maybe a little more

Probably needs a recharge of a/c gas. Recommend getting a can of dye injected at the same time to detect possible leaks in the system. Expect to change the condenser as it also springs leaks. Had the condenser and compressor go on my 240 last year and it was rather expensive to change

No problem since however.

You can get a self-sealing can of freon (R134?) for less than $20 at any AutoZone. I've used this product twice over the last 6-7 years, works great!

Does this work on the 202s? It tells 208 owners most of the things they need to know.
