Question: Air Conditioner Problems

Question

When I have my air conditioner on (auto or manual), heat also comes out of the vents. If I just turn on the dash (direct) and feet (downward) direction vents, i actually can feel cold air coming out of the dash air vent, but warm air coming out of the feet vent. It does cool but my feet get heat on them. When the front window defroster vent is turned on or it is in auto - it feels like a mix of hot and cold out of the dash and heat comes out of the defroster and feet vents. Turning the fan speed up or down doesn't make any difference. Help!

    Hi,
    Did you figure out what was causing this problem with the climate system? Thanks!

    Sounds like your heater control valve is leaking or stuck open. At least that's what it would be on an older (92-99) BMW.
