Secret air conditioning sequence? R36 2008

Replace the solenoid.
If it doesn't fix it then replace the compressor.
Have heard of others having success with the first step.
For me didn't work, so that's money I can't recoup but new compressor and all good now.

thanks. i'll weigh it up. heard a rumour that my "wonky" external ambient temp sensor/reading might be throwing it out as well. so another thing that i need to sort out.

Temp sensor is an easy replacement if that's a problem

i think the bracket has snapped off or something and the actual sensor was moved for some reason, i took the grille off and can't find it.

30C day, and car think it's 38C

any suggestion where else it might be?

AC is working great now.
