Dear E46 Fanatics I don’t know if it is the right place to add my topic since Iam new member. Can anyone help a mechanic in emergency situation. I have no heat from my vents, I have done all this. 1. Change my cooling valve 2. Change thermostat 3. Flushed my heater core 4. Change cabine sensor...

I recently purchased my second E46 in the fall of 2020. One of the first things I took care of was bleeding the cooling system since I was getting an intermittent coolant light and little to no heat (I believe this gave me heat again for a short period of time). The previous owner had stated...

My car has been sitting recently and I noticed after starting the car and letting it sit and warm up for a few minutes that when I turn the heat up, no air blows out. I turn up the fan speed and can hear it get faster but still no air, all vents are open. I have no clue what the issue could be...

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my e46 where after the car has been on the road for about 30mins, it turns into a sauna. Heat radiates from the cd holder box and cig lighter area, making the interior cabin really uncomfortable. Touching the inside of the cd holder box with your hand...

My vehicles clutch has finally begun to slip and it appears that replacement is imminent. However, there is something odd about the symptoms. My car will operate normally with no slippage on cold days until I've put about 30 miles on the vehicle. Everything I've read seems to state that a...

Hello, I come to you all with a desperate plea. I have absolutely no clue what is wrong with my E46 right now. (2003 325xi) It has no heat in the cabin. I first tried to see if the ac worked, which it did. Then the heater core control valve, which was fine. Flushed the core, and it was...

I'm trying to figure out what's up with my car. I had an idle issues many months ago I fixed doing the fuel pump/filter. Now I'm having a new issue with the idle dropping to 550 thru 500 ish with the heat on. Normal cold a/c isn't an issue. It's just when I turn the control to the red dots near...

Hi gays that`s my first post here , and i have a really big issue with my transmission. My car is e46 m54b30 with ZTF 5hp19 tranny. The car was driving and shift perfect , but 2 days ago started to going in limp mode(the gear with (!) sign). I been checking couple times a week the car for errors...

Recently I have been experiencing two issues with my car. I feel as though they could be related. 1. The heat pretty much does not work at all. Its been a gradual decline over the past month or so to the point that I'm not sure if it works at all. It definitely does not work when the car is...

It's been getting pretty cold and usually I don't have to drive my car much, as I can walk to school. Unfortunately, I got in my 2002 325i last night and while driving I noticed the engine temperature needle was dead center, meanwhile the air blowing from my car was extremely cold. I had the...

Hi all. New to site, and was hoping to get a little help. My E46 heaters have a mind of their own & at the moment the heaters will NOT give hot air but will blow cold air even if its set to 32c and 3-dot red. The heaters will simply not warm up if left in idle at optimum temperature. They'll...

Hello everybody I am new to the group. I have searched old threads but just couldn't find exactly the answer I was looking for. I have a 00 323i my heat only gets hot when I accelerate, The anti-freeze is full and the car only over heated one time I have left it just sit and idle with heat on...

I recently purchased eBay headers and am currently installing them. How do I remove the heat shield in order to access the existing ones? [/IMG]

what to check. So first off- 2000 323i 4dr sedan. No cruise no vol control on steering wheel. Lever seats. (Just for an options idea of the car) Manual trans - 5spd Okay let me know if you guys need any more info on the car. Some PO jackoff used regular antifreeze in the car.... FML...

2000 323ci 160k miles. I'm getting little to no heat from any location on the climate control (top, panel, floor). Also, when I have the panel vents blowing the air flow is greatly diminished when I turn the dial (in the center of the center vent) to max hot, with the blower remaining on the...

I know theres tons of threads on the a/c and heat in our cars, but I havent found any that really match my issue. My heat and a/c went out over this past summer, and since then, the only time there is anything blowing is heat, and it seems to blow at different rates depending on the speed I am...

I've searched extensively and haven't found anything matching my problem. My car is an '02 330i 5spd. I've had it since July and haven't had any problems with it at all through the hottest summer days. Now that it's getting cool, I noticed the first time the heat came on, my temp gauge went...

I got a new thermostat, thinking that was what the problem was, as that was what the code said, so I replaced it. I still had no heat...... and my engine was still running cold. I got a new thermostat (under parts warranty on the other) and now it seems that the engine is running cooler than it...

Hey, I replaced my thermostat because my car threw a SES about low coolant and the thermostat. I replaced it, hoping it would fix that and fix my heating problem. However, my heat problem remains, and as I drive my car, the engine temp goes from mid (12 o'clock) headed back to cold. I was...
