Remote Aux Heating Problems

Post by j2d » Sat Jan 05, 2013 10:37 pm

Had my X5 for a couple of years now and the Remote Aux Heating has been working fine, until about a couple of months ago.  When the X5 was in for a service at a local BMW specialist I got them to have a look at it for me, cmae back with the conclusion the main unit has gone and would need replacing which was going to cost £600ish, obviously decided against it.

Is there anything I can do/try to fix it?

Thanks

John

its a minefield mate, bmw are likely to recommend replacing the whole unit anyways, i don't think they try to diagnose what's wrong with it and address any specific faults.

depending on your symptoms this and this might help... or atleast has a wealth of knowledge.

all the best!
