BMW 2008 325 air condition problems

Natsbmw · 01-27-2012, 12:16 AM

Hi all
Any latest news on probs with air-conditioning ? My 3 series has continual air con probs and no dealer can seem to fix. Air con works fine for awhile then ESP on long trips about an hour in the fan appears tostop and no air comes through the vents! Very frustrating! I have had a temp thermostat replaced, a fan replaced and a valve? Replaced two weeks ago and today on a long trip it did it again! U have to stop ur trip wait about 15-20mins with car off then start again and it will resume to normal. This had been an on going problem for the last three years and getting rather fed up with it not working or not being fixed!! Any other suggestions?????

No 325i. They still make them but not in the U.S.

Since the fan itself has been replaced, did the dealer look at the blower resistor? It's easy to replace.
