Got the control valve replaced last weekend instead of replacing the compressor. Price RM600. 3 months warranty. So far air con seems behaving. Will update after monitoring a few more weeks.

Here is a picture of the control valve if you are interested to have a look.

The control valve is inside the compressor which a electric cable is connected to it.

Visited the shop today, advice from the boss " most of the E60 have this problem, if it's just 1-2min during cold start just rev up the engine, save you a few hundred RM. come back if it got worst".:top:

Mine got worst until sauna in the car after running the car some time. Not during cold start....

If intermediate cold which means sometimes cold sometimes not..what could be the issue?

Should be due to the control valve.

Was travelling back from Penang and air cond was super cold until Rawang when gradually we felt that the air was coming out slowly although we keep increasing the blower control. The air remained cold but air volume decreased. Luckily it was already Rawang and we just had to endure slight discomfort until we reached PJ.

Left the car overnight and air cond was back to normal when I started the car next morning. I remember reading somewhere it could be a case where due to the prolonged cold air blowing out, the cooling coil freezes up and thus block some passage of air resulting in decreased air blow. Checked with air cond shop and they confirmed gas pressure is sufficient. Did not do anything thus far. So I guess it is advisable to switch your air cond to blow hot air for a short while when travelling long distance to prevent this from happening?

Had mine replaced just now. A/c hot like sauna if car idle/stuck in jam. Cold if car is moving. Went to several a/c shop, all wanna change compressor and wanna charge me kaw2.

Took someone's advice (see E60 parts & maintenance), went to SGS Car Cooler in Salak South Garden. He did the followings:-

1. Change a/c control valve
2. Vacuum and top-up gas
3. Labour

All in RM650.00.

Now I have to find a winter coat everytime I drive my UDM. It's hell freezes over hehehe...

3 most important moments in my life: 1) got married 2) 1st kid was born 3) got my UDM
