I have a 2001 BMW 325xi, after adding R134a refrigerant it works ok for about 2 to 3 weeks and then starts blowing warm again, I took it to a AC repair place twice but they could not figure it out whats going on, they told me there is no leeks. Also I hear some noise comming out when I turn on the AC.

Do you think the compressor is bad?
