x5 e70 Aux. Heater

Post by mchand1 » Wed Mar 18, 2015 11:58 am

Hi I'm new to the board. I've just bought my new car its a 08 3.0d e70. works perfectly. however it has a an auxiliary heater with remote control. BMW have already diagnosed the heater its self as at  fault. A new one including fitting is £1200.  "OMG I ain't that cold". Does anyone have any experience in this, and does anyone know if there is anywhere in the UK where the heater can be repaired?
Thank All Mike

Hi Mike

Welcome

My first thought is revert to seller as an undisclosed fault..

Also a quick and simple search on here will reveal many a post on them for example:-

But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)

Initialky as above......and if that fails then look for a Webasto specialist.  There are a number of threads on here about issues with these heaters.  As you are finding out, BMW don't repair just replace.

If your are any good with the electronics and DIY it is possible to fix it yourself.

Any indications as to the nature of the fault?
