Aicon Suddenly Dead

[TohTo]

My 06 320i aircon suddenly dead yesterday afternoon when driving off from work. My car mileage almost 200k.
In the morning it was working normal and perfectly cold, afternoon blowing warm air only.
Can hear a hizzing sound behind the centre dash board when on aircon which I don't hear this previously.
I suspect leak of cooling coil or compressor failure. But why it failed so sudden without any sytom?

Any bro can advise what is the estimate cost for change of cooling coil or compressor (new or recon),
car only left 16 mth :verysad:

Compressor should be under 1k. Cooling coil more troublesome I guess.
have to dismantle dashboard:errr:

Send my car in to Tomika to check. Cooling coil leaking.
Need to dismantle whole dash board to change. Now in process of exchange.
Price is quite reasonable there. at least much cheaper than my usual servicing ws.

hi, would you assess it make sense to buy cooling coil/parts and bring there? Tks.
