aircon problem

[blueagle]

Guys,

I drive an 02 X5 3.0d euro with 30k . I noticed that when I switch my aircon on, no cold air comes out. All the aircon lights are on . I switched off the aircon and waited several seconds and the aircon was back to normal. Suddenly, the aircon just shut did not want to blow air no matter how many times I switched it off. I did some research in this forum and found out it could be a simple FSR (final stage resistor). I brought my X5 to the stealership last Monday for a check up and explained the problem. After several days my service advisor told me it was indeed the blower resistor but my auxilliary fan also was not working even with the new fsr. They said they did a thorough electrical check of the wiring and everyhthing looks okay. They recommended I change my auxilliary fan assembly which would cost me around USD800++. Gosh, that hurts my pocket dudes.

Just wanted to check with you guys if anyone has encountered a similar problem.
