A/C Problems

I have an 01 3.0, and my a/c only cools when the car is in motion. If I stop at a light or am stuck in traffic it only blows hot air??????

Anyone have this problem?

Thanks!

Check that the fan in front of the radiator is working.

The AUX fan in front is probably not working.

also, for good measure, check your A/C Charge.

I checked the fan and as usual, you guys are correct. Any idea how much will it cost to repair?

RealOEM.com BMW E53 X5 3.0i Pusher fan

however, search online for cheaper, or another option would be to replace with an aftermarket fan, but fitment is always a question.

other option is to check junkyards for the part.
