Hi folks, :D
My 735 have started with a strange issue. It blows only hot or warm air out of the vents when I turn the fan on. I have tryed to look behind the heater matrix who is under the stereo and it looks like it is electric remote to the crane who adjust cold and hot air...
Some one who have an idea of what or where the problem is?

The dreaded heater valves maybe?

No problem. Try whacking the heater valve solenoids with a small hammer, which sometimes frees them off, though they can be stripped and rebuilt. My E34 has a weird problem where for some reason I can't turn off the heat on the driver's side :x

Looks like you need all the heat you can get out there in Sweden 8O
