AC issue again - hot air all over the place
My 06 E60 started to pose issue on the IKHA again. It came with pre LCI IKHA high.
Yesterday everything was fine until I stopped the car, went for some grocery and when I started the car again, all the vents started blow warm air though I set everything to cool, including the control cluster or in the Idrive. The water valve was recently replaced so it should no-t be the culprit.
Previously my car keep blowing hot air into the face so I had to change that part in idrive to zero. But now it blows hot air everywhere. Any suggestions?
Thanks

What is a water valve? Is your compressor working. When was the last time you have your A/C serviced (evacuated, pressure test and filled)? Have you done a test on the door blends or heater core? those are the things that can make you a/c blow hot. If its blowing hot everywhere then I would rule out door blends and focus on the compressor or heater core.
