i'm new to the 6 series, anyways, my 1988 635csi has had a retrofit of the 134a stuff, well, the rear air conditioner for the center console in the passenger seat, is extremely cold, but the front air conditioner is cool, but not cold at all, its only a couple of degrees cooler than the ambient air... do you guys have any idea what could cause this, are the two systems on completey different plumbing and the front is low on freon? I have no idea, thanks in advance

The rear is fed from the only evaporator in the car. There must be a flap in the ducting that is mixing warm and cold air for the front of the car.
No idea how to troubleshoot that.
