A/C problem

He guys, I just bought a 08 X5 3.0

It is great with 20 inch wheels.

The only problema with it, is that when you start the AC the Compressor doesn`t start normaly. It doesnt give cool air.

You need to REV IT UP or put it in Neutral to rev it up, so that the AC compresor starts, and after this, it Works great.

Does anyone have the same problem? and how did you fix it?

Sounds like a clutch on the compressor.

Here are some pics

Aero kit is on its way

And thinking about fender flares, as I think the wheels are going to stick in a bit with them.
