Air conditioning problem

[djc]

Hi guys,

I have a 2003 E53 X5 with a climate control issue. The A/C works fine for about 20 mins or so, managing the temps as per settings, after that, no air comes from the cabin vents at all, although the fan remains running and the A/C appears to be working. My independent repairer mentioned it could be the doors/flaps in the system. I have tried adjusting the control settings from auto to manual (all settings either randomly or in sequence) with no success. If I turn the engine off and wait about 10 mins then everything works normally again for a while. is this something anyone else has experienced? Any thoughts would be appreciated as its summer here in aust and 35c in Melbourne today.

Cheers

David
