A/C Repair Service for Your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know BMW vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2020 BMW A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe

Let's say we repair your 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per BMW guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C recharges.

Common BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe.

Questions About 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Systems

  • Can I make my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does the A/C in my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe rely on gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe.
  • What can cause the A/C in my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe to smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C only work when the car is moving? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
  • Where can I go for 228i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C repair near me? When you need your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
