Hey, thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check the coolant circuit! How much did the repair cost you in the end, if you don't mind me asking? Oh, and have you encountered any other problems since then? Thanks again for your help!

Hey, you're welcome! The repair of the temperature sensor cost me around €240. Since I've been to the mechanic, the faulty signal from the ambient temperature sensor has been rectified. So no more problems so far! Hope this helps you!

Great, thanks for the info! 240 is really fair. That gives me a good indication of the likely costs. I'm really glad you haven't had any more problems since then. I'll take your advice and get it to a mechanic as soon as possible. Thanks again for your help!

It sounds like you have a couple of different issues going on. For the airbag and ABS light, it could be a faulty sensor or a problem with the wiring. As for your car bogging down, it could be due to a variety of reasons such as a clogged fuel filter, dirty air filter, or a problem with the spark plugs. However, both issues are safety-relevant and should be checked by a professional mechanic as soon as possible.

I have the same problem but it’s instead it blows hot air before & after driving about 30-40 min within then hear the compressor kick in to start cooling and I had the problem after I change the ambient temp sensor

It sounds like your AC system might be low on refrigerant or there could be an issue with the AC compressor clutch. A low refrigerant level can cause the AC to blow warm air until the system has run for a while and the refrigerant has had a chance to circulate. If the clutch on the compressor is failing, it may not engage properly causing a delay in cooling. I'd recommend having your AC system inspected by a professional mechanic. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Hey, I recently had a similar problem with my 2018 BMW X3 Diesel. My car suddenly only gave me hot air, similar to yours. But in my case, the problem wasn't the ambient temperature sensor. It was actually my car's coolant circuit that was clogged. The guys at the garage had to clean it out completely and replace the coolant. So, maybe it's something similar with your car? It was already a serious problem and took some time in the workshop. I would definitely recommend getting it checked as soon as possible. Hope that helps!
