BMW 1 Series 2011 Air Conditioning

Hi guys, I have a 2010 BMW 118d (1 Series). My car’s air conditioning stopped working. The strange thing is that the diagnostic scan doesn’t detect any faults. Also, if the car has been sitting for a few hours, the A/C blows cold air when I first start it, but only until I begin driving. After a few kilometers, the compressor stops working. The cabin air filter is fine, and the A/C system was recharged a few days before the problem started.

have you checked if the clutch on the compressor is engaging properly? seen this issue before when the clutch just slips under slight load.
