AC only blows cold at highway speeds.
Anyway. My 2001 X5 3.0 only blows cold AC if im cruising down the freeway. Otherwise on city streets and at idle she blows warm as hell. Anyone have any thoughts on thus. |

Thanks for the quick reply. 80s and purplecty.
80s, ive never had any codes pertaining to my AC. Ive had my x5 for about 6 months and its had this issue since I bought it. Purplecty the only fan that I'm aware of is the one thats bolted to the crank at the front of the motor. Call me dumb but do I have a second electric auxillary fan?

A bad fan fault will bein the DME module, not the Ac system. A bad fan fault will not throw up a Check Engine light. Most generic scanners will not be able to read a BMW DME fan fault.
