What Causes the Rear Air Conditioning in BMW 3 Series to Stop Blowing Air?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons why the rear air conditioning in a BMW 3 Series may stop blowing air: 1. Valve malfunction leading to poor opening: When the plastic components of the air vent valve age or screws become loose, preventing normal opening and closing, it can affect the airflow. You can gently pry open the valve with a tool. 2. Damaged air ducts: The air ducts in car air conditioning systems are made of plastic and can age, crack, or wear out due to interference with other components over time. When the ducts are damaged, air leaks from the damaged areas. It's advisable to visit a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection and replacement. 3. Blocked ducts or clogged air filter: Prolonged use of the vehicle can lead to the accumulation of debris such as leaves, lint, and dust, which can block the ducts and reduce the airflow efficiency from the vents. Additionally, not replacing the air filter for an extended period can also decrease airflow efficiency. In such cases, you can disassemble the ducts to remove the debris and should regularly check the condition of the air filter.
