- I found out I had NO HEAT inside the car! I walk through my diagnosis process, the replacement of the part, and the celebration of having working heat for the winter months!

I have a 2005 E53 X5 with 205,000 miles on the odometer., and my symptoms were a/c blows cold on drivers side and always blowing heat from the passenger side footwells and the rear . Replaced my heater control valve unit and now it works great. The dealer wanted to charge me over $5,000. They told me some blend door actuators went bad and the only way to do the repair would be to remove the entire dashboard to get to those parts. I fixed it for $75 and one hour in labor. The dealer wanted 5 grand plus…Imagine that…🤬
Insne!!! Sounds like they did a bad diag in that case. Im glad you got it sorted out and saved A TON of money!
It’s because of content like yours that I was able to DIY and save a ton of money. THANKS! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😎😎😎
How about a repair job lol
Yeah, dealership will do b******t like that. Have similar story
Excellent video! I already ordered the part from Amazon - will be here in 3 days. easy fix, rather than dealership wanting $795.00
That’s why I do this! Helps people out. Glad to hear it and hope your replacement goes smoothly Derrick!
I changed my 2011 BMW X3 XDRIVE28i Water pump, thermostat, radiator hose to reservoir, the reservoir, topped the coolant to right level but now since watching this video, I never thought of the heater control valve. I'll order the part today and have at it. I'LL write back and let you know how it turned out. It looks simple
That’s awesome work dude! Glad you’re taking care of some many trouble spots (as they age they become problematic) all at once. Looking forward to hearing your outcome once the heater valve is replaced!
I have the same year X3. Is there a control valve on our cars? It doesn't seem like it...
best video on this matter, nice job.
Thanks Drezic!
Great video ... I noticed my gasket on my coolant top is broken. I'm going to get a new top and bleed the coolant 1st !
Excellent idea!?always start with the KNOWN related issues before you dive deeper. You’re on the right path my friend! Good luck and HOPEFULLY just having a cooling system that is able to hold pressure will fix it for you :-)
I have the same Problem but definitely I need somebody to remember parts take out and remember what I did I think its a easy fix , outsider asking for $650/- I am computer Engineering wish I would have learn this :)) Love you you explained very well.
I hope the information was helpful to you so you at least pay a fair price to have it replaced! Thank you!
I guarantee you can do it with some practice and experience. Though this job was pretty simple in terms of not having to remove a ton of parts to get to the valve, dealing with coolant hoses is always a pain as they can be hard to remove in tight spaces. And removing that charge pipe is also simple but painful as it takes practice to learn how to exert force again in tight spaces. But if you start trying simple and/or easy jobs and getting the practical physical experience, you will soon find yourself doing more. The hardest part is just starting, it takes a little courage. Find a friend who can help provide tutoring and encouragement. And start collecting the tools.
thanks for this, worked fine coolant was low
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Superb video my friend the stealership wanted 700 USD for my ALPINA thank you ordered my part in a week The mission will be completed. 😀💯💢
Heck yes! Best of luck with it! Glad to have helped somehow
this video was very helpful
Im glad!
Excellent
Thank you so much!
Very informative!
Thank you!
I replaced the stock hose clamps with regular hose clamps. Much easier to R&R.
Great idea!
Thanks!
Your welcome! Hope it helped you!

Hoping that my replacement valve will resolve my issue... i ordered mine a week before i found your clip.... when NOT using a/c.... just using fresh air face vents blow cold..... when flipped down to legs, it blows hot air.... change it back to face, and the cold fresh air is back..... knurled blend/mix rotary dial is set to Max cold.... hope its the valve not getting voltage to the solenoid....
crossing fingers for you! It does sound as if your valve could be stuck open and thus constantly allowing hot coolant through the heater core. This SHOULD be closed if you have the temp setting to max cold. There are other possibilities, but this is the most likely one. Good luck!
@@turbospool thanks turbo
also when this part fails it will cause the A/C to blow warm on one side of the car
Correct! That’s what happened in my case. No heat out the passenger side, a little heat on my side.
@@turbospool did you have to drain the coolant for this ?
@@zlord1199 not really. Watch about half way you see that I clamped the hoses going to and from the heater valves. So the loss was minimal! Maybe half a liter
@@turbospool mine is only blowing air from the foot well vent do you know what might cause that issue?
@@abdulelahalkhaibari4350 that sounds more like an issue with a blend door actuator or the IHKA (the climate control panel). I recommend further diag to pin point it
Nice video brother
Thanks bro!
Just wondering, you said you didn't have heat on "your vent", did you have heat on the passenger side?
I meant i had SOME heat on the driver side, freezing cold air on the passenger side. Thats why I started out with checking level and doing the bleeding procedure because that set of conditions is TYPICALLY indicative of low coolant. When that didn’t fix it the next step after having found no faults was to replace the heater control valve :)
@@turbospool Cool thx, having the same problem. Thanks for the video.
Hello. How do I know which one to start with. Thermostat-control valve- water pump. It’s not blowing hot air and after about 20-30 minutes it starts to rise up like it’s overheating. One time I just kept on trying to warm the car up and it actually got warm. But was that just the engine being hot? Please help. I know I can change the thermostat and I’ve watched enough videos including yours I feel I can change the control valve maybe even the water pump but I need to know which one
Hi Michael, to better help you could you please share what car and engine you have? I have a few ideas but knowing that will help narrow it down
Hey bro, I have same problem, I’m trying to take off the hose but it not coming off. Any advice?
Don't force it. I used a 90* pick to get between the plastic of the barb end, and the inside of the hose. Then I pushed the pick to work the 90* around the plastic to break the adhesion between the rubber hose and the plastic barb. Then it should pull off easily
Hot water
What is the name of the company that makes the part?
This is a Boskavolo
If this the same as a water valve
yes it is actually! That is in fact the other name for heater control valve
Hi sir., if the blower fan no come out front face/Wind hole.. but the blower motor still high speed and work fine, it's is same issue replace the new heater control valve can solve...? thanks for helping
Hello! No, unfortunately this is more likely a problem with the blend door actuators OR the IHKA (the AC control panel) itself. But note- IT IS NORMAL for it to only blow on the floor outlets when you have the temperature scroll selector rolled to red. So try rolling it to blue and see if you have air to your face then. This would rule out an issue with the IHKA and point more to the combination of settings you are presently using. Hope that helps
That beard doe
It’s coming along nicely! Just in time for the thick of winter months!
