  • White dust/bits from Air Conditioning - BMW 1 Series

    Hi all.

    My wife's 1 series has started blowing out lots of white bits when you crank the air-conditioning on, like lots of bits of dandruff, which as you can imagine isn't particularly nice!

    Any idea what this is, air-con system breaking down?

    Its a 2006 118D with dual zone climate.

    Cheers

    Well after some more digging on "babybmw.net" (!!) it sounds like it might be the evaporator on its way out. Time to test how good the 2 year extended warranty is me thinks!

    Anyone had any experience of this under warranty?

      Same thing happened on my wifes 118d 2007 model, BMW done it under warranty last year, apparently its a known fault with these & my local dealer told me BMW will honour the repair even out of warranty as long as the car has only passed through main dealers. Its quite a big job as the entire dash has to come out, about 6 hours total i understand.

        Cheers Doug.

        Car is booked in for a couple of weeks time, Service Manager seemed to know what it was so said it "should be" covered under warranty...!

        He said that it was a dash out job too, they have booked the wife down as having the courtesy car for a WEEK though!
