Why is there a restocking fee?

Well the first reason is that it was in the terms and conditions on checkout. However there is a better reason.  Honest companies charge restocking fees for a very simple reason: to keep costs (and thus prices for you) down when dealing with the return of items that are not defective. There are a lot of costs associated with processing an order. If you buy something and then return it, there is more costs to handle the return.

All returns must be thoroughly inspected when received back at the warehouse to ensure they are in 100% resalable condition. New packaging materials usually need to be utilized because it is typically only designed to be used two times (initial use and possible return shipment). Time and materials involved inspecting, repackaging and restocking are not insignificant. The bottom line is restocking fees help keep prices low for you!  

For this reason we do not accept returns on any used or previously installed products. We will not sell used products to our customers who are expecting brand new Garagistic parts. At times we may have to charge a higher restocking fee on a return if the parts are damaged during the return shipping. It is your responsibility to ensure the safe arrival of the parts you are returning to us. Thanks!

 

BMW E28 Complete A/C Solutions Conversion Kit (528e, 533i, 535i, M5)

Description

Engineered for performance and reliability, this conversion kit provides a full plug-and-play R134a solution for the E28 A/C system. Utilizing a modern Sanden compressor, CSF parallel flow condenser, R134a expansion valve, new R134a lines, and all necessary brackets, this upgrade delivers colder vent temps, reduced engine strain, and a more efficient, durable system

Which condenser and fan should I choose?

For a complete and proper conversion, we strongly recommend using our new high-performance CSF parallel flow condenser and SPAL fan combo for the most efficient A/C system. However, if you are planning to use your original condenser and fan, select the "None" option.

What if my E28 didn't come factory with A/C?

Our products are designed to support factory A/C models; however, they can be fitted into non-A/C applications, but you will need to obtain a factory HVAC wiring harness, both interior lines, evaporator, aluminum engine accessory bracket (to mount our compressor bracket), and factory interior HVAC box with sensors, control module, thermostat, etc.

What’s included in the kit?

  • Genuine Sanden SD5H14 (508) compressor
  • A/C Solutions Sanden compressor bracket
  • A/C Solutions x CSF parallel flow condenser w/ SPAL 13" curved blade fan and hardware (optional)
  • Low-pressure suction line (bulkhead to compressor)
  • High-pressure discharge line (compressor to condenser)
  • High-pressure condenser return line (condenser to drier)
  • High-pressure drier return line (drier to bulkhead)
  • OE R134a filter drier
  • R134a expansion valve
  • High-pressure cut off switch
  • New v-belt
  • R134a high-pressure adapter fitting
  • Compressor mounting hardware
  • Model specific R134a o-ring kit
  • R134a retrofit label
  • Wiring kit and misc. hardware
  • Detailed installation instructions (view)

Fitment notes:

  • This kit is not compatible with the 524td.
  • Models fitted with fuel coolers will have to be capped and removed.
  • For the 533i, BMW engine accessory bracket 64521284953 will be required to support the Sanden compressor bracket.
  • For the 528e (up to 09/84) and 533i, the late model condenser cover 51711929356 will be required to clear the CSF condenser.
  • Images may not reflect all configurations of this product.

This product requires no R&D and is easily reversible using professionally engineered components, OEM-like hardware, and durable replacement parts resulting in a trouble-free installation that can be completed in 4-6 hours by a professional or at home without a lift. It is designed to fit both stock and euro headers while providing ample clearance around the factory oil lines and OEM brake ducting/undertray.

This kit assumes your vehicle is stock and still retains all original equipment. Proper functionality of the evaporator, wiring harness, system electronics, and HVAC sensors is/are required for a fully functional system.
