Airconditioner blowing hot and cold

Hi,

So i went to have a look at the 330d i was eyeing last week.

car needs a lil body work, but on the overall it seems like a good car.

on my time with the car, i switched the airconditioner onto cold, and after 15 minutes i was still getting hot air coming through the vents.

Yes, I know how to switch on the Aircon properly and set it to the proper temperature. This is not my first E46.....


anyways, Ive noticed that i get hot and cold air coming through the vents at the same time. hot coming through one half of the vent and cold through the other half. this is the same for all the vents in the front of the car. Any idea what it could be?

P.S. The car is currently at Tunetech getting a proper look over cos the seller is willing to repair all mechanical and electrical faults on the car. Its just me that has to fork out for the respray on the fender.

Still, This hot and cold aircon is a worrying thing for me cos i drove a car where the aircon didnt work, and i dont want to go through that again.

if i recall correct, this is 99% 1 of the following 2 problems..

either the gas is low, or the heater valve is stuck/disconnected/bust..

some of them had issues with the fancy electronic control units.....a good sprky will know what to look for if hes been around a while. ask the prev owner if he knew what it was ??? he must know.
