X3 heating issues:

Post by Nicnic » Tue Nov 21, 2017 9:22 pm

Hi
Car broke down and I had to replace water tank but I've now got no heat. If I rev the St it comes warm but nothing on tickover. Does anyone have any ideas please

Look on YouTube regarding bleeding/ burping the coolant system to get rid of airlocks.
Also on YouTube how to check the coolant temperature in the hidden menu. Thermostats on the X3 are common failures, temp needs to be 88degs <
If it's a Diesel with a DPF, it won't regenerate if the temperature stays less than 88 degs
