Hi,

I'm new here and just got a 2008 E60 BMW 520D M Sport. I just have a quick question.

The heater works fine inthe center vents and driver vents. The drivers side is less warmer, but the back center vents only blow cold air. There is a plenty of air pressure coming out of the vents but its cold. I've tried adjusting the heating and temp but it does not work.

In iDrive I've only got the temp adjsutment for the front center vents and not any other.

There is only 1 knob on the rear vents to open and close the vents (not a second one for heat)

Is there a setting I'm missing or doing something wrong?

Thanks

      FUEL INJECTOR FAILURE/TIME BELT

      I have the exact same problem. Mine is a 225Xe Auto. Amber engine light has been on for some time, 2x service at the BMW garage said it is sensor problem no concern. 4 weeks ago the steering started shuddering and now sound lime a tractor motor. Took to the same garage and they have quoted >10k. Mileage is just about 100,000, 2018 make. I feel cheated by such a big name brand, the garage should have a realistic pricing. The repair is almost the price I paid for the used car. Any ideas. Should I move on an sell for scrap.

      Buying an X1.

      Hi Bob, Just make sure you check out the specs. If it is a 1.5l engine it's probably a MHEV, in which case no room underfloor for a spare wheel. Secondly, if that is the case it's built on the same platform as my 220i Active tourer which has a quoted 0-62mph of 8.2s. That's a bit misleading as I think that time is achieved by using the 'Boost' function, where the energy stored in the battery is suddenly dumped into the drive train for a 'Launch' effect. I don't find my 220i to be slow. It picks up quickly from 50 to 70(and plus) on the motorway if required. Sure it's not going to be up there with cars that have 200hp or more. But then if you're thinking of an X1 you are obviously more interested in practical luggage carrying than speed. Remember most of the average 'bloggsmobiles' have a 0-62mph time of 10s+. I think the X1 with the 1.5l engine has a time of 8.3s, and a top speed of 138mph so whilst not high performance it's no sluggard. On another note, just try to keep the cost, when new, below that £40k threshold, after which annual car tax rises to £590 per annum for the first 5 years for the second licence. In the end, only a test drive will tell you if it suits you. Good luck

      Buying an X1.

      Thanks really appreciate the information. Didnt realise the X1 had a 3 cylinder engine with the 1.5. Surely thats underpowered for a car of this size?

      Rear knocking

      Hi Paul Well 1 down main prop shaft and centre bearing to check next also diff mounting bush in case the diff is moving under load. The air suspension takes up any slack in bushes which makes finding worn stuff harder Great teachers these cars 🤣 like they say every days a school day Good luck Dave

      645ci coolant

      Hi Rob Welcome to the Forum BMW use 2 sources for signals to the temperature gauge which uses an average from the 2 First is the Temperature sender in the water pump housing (and yes change the Thermostat while your there) the second temperature sender is in the Lower Radiator hose. The lower one also provides signal for the Fan, normal operating temp should be between 75C and 115C (the needle in the middle of the gauge) I have an infra red thermometer and measure at the top hose Running the V8's to hot can cause all sorts of issues non of them are cheap to fix, the fact that your heater is blowing cold would lead me to check the level and quickly low coolant is a likely cause as is an air lock. Remember your trans cooler and engine oil cooler are linked to the Rad. If topping up get the correct coolant and dont use just water. Good Luck hope you catch it before any damage occurs Dave
