J~~ 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Hey guys I have a 2002 318ci and yesterday the fan stopped blowing air into the vents for the cabin. Air con still works and i can still feel the cold air if the car is moving but no air at all if the car is still no matter how high I put the fan speed. Could it be the FSR thats shot being a Singa import or could it be something else. Any idea how much it is to fix? Edit: Checked fuses too and its not blown Cheers Edited January 10, 2015 by Swift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curryinahurry 39 Report post Posted January 13, 2015 You'll need to replace the final stage resistor. Very common problem on E36 & E46. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FuManChu 2 Report post Posted April 12, 2017 Thought my FSU had gone one E39 no:2, but no, the actual HVAC panel is faulty... Swaped in the panel from no:1 after swapping FSU's to no avail.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1162 Report post Posted April 12, 2017 Its nearly always the hedgehog (fsr), but you need to replace with a genuine one as the cheap ones just crap out really quick. Also cause its in a difficult place to access you dont want to be doing it twice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted April 12, 2017 I did ours. Twice. Because the first FSR I was supplied turned out to be a Chinese one. (No names, no pack drill.) That was replaced and then installed a 'real' one - no problems since. I found it an almighty PITA job, trying to squeeze myself upside down in the drivers footwell under the steering wheel, but it did give me a reason to buy a set of Torx T-bars. Maybe it gets easier with practice? Glenn (Botany MotorWorx) and Ray (HellBM) both assured e it was easy, but I suspect they've done a few before.
