Wow, my 2022 X5 is at the dealer for this exact same problem. I'm glad my car is still under warranty. This must be a common problem because the dealer said replacement evaporators are currently on backorder from Germany and nobody in the dealer network has one.

would the passenger side vents blowing warm air instead of cold be an issue this replacement would fix?
@arkmay12 ай бұрын
Of it blows cold on the other side, then it’s not an evaporator problem. Probably a stepper motor on that plastic HVAC box.

@M3LLOW909Ай бұрын
Yes this can be a possibility but it would need to be property diagnosed. Most cars I would say it would be a stratification motor but that's not a common failure point on a g05 X5. Because of how the design of the veins on the evaporator, if the system is low on refrigerant, some of the evaporator will cool but taper off further down the veins. Overall cooling won't be very good but it may be worse on one side than the other.

That’s legit crazy how much easier the bmw engineers made this …. And you knock that shit out the park ….. when I changed the dash on my 07 TL it was a nightmare …. The center console came out piece by piece the steering wheel wires had the be fished through the column … instead of having the dash come out piece by piece where it was more manageable you had to take it out as a whole, which meant removing both front seat and parts of the carpet .

Holy sh*t. My 2019 X3 M40i is currently in the shop at BMW for an evaporator leak. My A/C started blowing hot so they put dye in it to see if there was a leak and sure enough it was the evaporator. Thank god I got an extended warranty on it. How much would this cost without a warranty? Just out of curiosity.

@wohlermaia96999 ай бұрын
this is completely unreasonable burying the evaporator inside the dash this way, as this part us highly susceptible to leaks. It should be planned a replacement plan for it without just dismantle all the car this way, and that surely it will never be the same again as several broken plastic tabs, loosen screws and bad fitted parts will surely happens, with unwanted noises, squeaks and whatever more problems after a so severe unmounting / mounting operation like these. Better sell the car without AC and buy another one.

BMW should just make the evaporator swappable like the AC filter. This part is supposed the last the lifetime of the vehicle.

Working on a 2019 x40i, finding the leak was very difficult as it seems that the condensate drains onto the top of the trans to help it "boil" off and reduce condensation puddles, i only found a small dot of leak detect uv on a trans pan bolt, assumedly there is a green pudlle on top of the trans haha. Thanks for the video most likely it will go to the dealer for work but you mentioning the evaporator set me on the path, thanks again
@M3LLOW90911 ай бұрын
Great job and thankfully you were able to find some trace of the uv dye! Sometimes the leak isn't big enough to drip dye down the condensation tube right away and the customer has to go through a whole systems worthe of refrigerant to be able to see it in the drain. We have tools to pressure test it fortunately to help with the diag.
