Heating and air conditioning problems in the BMW X1 petrol engine (2010)

Hey, I have a 2013 BMW X3 and recently had similar problems. My mechanic determined that it was a problem with the air conditioning compressor. The heater and air conditioning weren't working properly, just like yours. The mirror wasn't defrosting either, which was really annoying. The issue was quite serious as without heating and air conditioning, driving would be quite uncomfortable, especially in extreme weather conditions. So it could be that it's also the air conditioning compressor and not the water valve in the cooling circuit. Don't take it lightly, my friend. It's best to get professional help. Good luck with that!

Hey, did you remember the cost of the repair? Was it a big amount? And how was your car after that? Have any other problems come up since then? Your experience could really help me a lot with my problem. Thanks in advance!

Hey buddy! Yes, I remember the repair costs. The water valve of the cooling circuit wasn't missing anything, the mechanic fixed it perfectly. The cost was €155 because the cable connection or the plug on the water valve was faulty. I know it's not a small amount, but hey, since then everything has been running smoothly again and I've had no more problems. So, in my experience, it's definitely worth taking your car to the garage. Hope I've been able to help you, and fingers crossed that you get it sorted quickly!

Thanks guys, that was very helpful! Really nice to get such helpful advice. I will definitely see a professional and get the A/C compressor checked. 155 is a pretty big amount, but if it solves my problem, it's definitely worth it. Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. I will keep you posted. Thanks again and have a great day!
