Thanks!
My “spring cleaning” has been to get her back on the road before the weather turns blistering hot!
The expansion tank blew about September 2020 thanks to forums like this, that part is all good now!
So I redid the upper and lower radiator hoses with that, coolant flush, new “expansion tank thermostat”(sp?) , new engine thermostat
I took her by Firestone by my work for registration yesterday and a look over, good guys at this one...
Anyway, they said that it was a (valve) or (gate) perhaps (dial) type of situation were one side is blowing hot and one is blowing cold IDK?!
“Freon” was good.
This is my 2nd X5 and it does have a little sponginess to turn the dial all the way to 3 BLUE dots.
I have taken the NAV out to replace the screen and inspected the cable, twist it a bit. I didn’t want to mess anything up too bad.
I also took apart and reassembled the digital cabin buttons and sensor part, that was a NIGHTMARE to get back together without little gold pieces and plastic buttons popping loose!
Since the new thermostats a few days back it seems to “warm up” and stay right in the middle faster but the A/C isn’t getting colder faster
You are definitely correct on the coincidence timing.
In the summer, it would help to roll the windows down I suppose to release the hot air.
Sorry to babble on and on but while I’m all up the guts I want to get everything 100%
Thanks Again
