AC problems in 02 X5
Hello everyone,
Its my first post here so be kind.... I have a 02 X5 with over 100,000 miles. The ac works perfect blowing to the back seat but does not blow to the front vents at all. To the back it only allows the back controls to work the fan speed is not adjustable from the front controller. If I turn off the AC button the air will flow into the dash vents and the center vent will allow me to adjust the temperature slightly. If the AC button is on and then I turn it off a rush of AC'ed air comes from the front vents. It seems to me the front fan is not working. Any idea on fixing this with out taking it to the dealer? Thanks allot, Gary |

don't be surprised when I tell you this, according to where we fixed the blower, this a faulty design of BMW. The mechanic said that our case wasn't the first time. they've encountered a lot of the same problem even E60's!!!!!! what caused the failure of the blower is that once you get to bumpy roads, the blower mechanism gets disrupted (I forgot the explanation) and through time it gives out. with yours a 02 X5, I think we have the same AC. if indeed it is the blower, the part (original) is about $290. the labor is more expensive (in our case) because they have to remove the dash in order to change the blower. hope this helps |
