How can I make my 330i xDrive air conditioner colder?

Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Why do I get hot air from my 330i xDrive A/C?

Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.

What can cause an A/C system leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your 330i xDrive’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does my 330i xDrive A/C use gas?

Your 330i xDrive’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

My 330i xDrive’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your 330i xDrive creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my 330i xDrive’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 330i xDrive may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Repair Service for Your BMW 330i xDrive

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my BMW 330i xDrive A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know BMW vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2017 BMW. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your BMW 330i xDrive

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2017 BMW 330i xDrive’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your BMW 330i xDrive A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

330i xDrive A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2017 BMW 330i xDrive, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use BMW’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2017 BMW 330i xDrive A/C recharges.

Common BMW 330i xDrive A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only BMW 330i xDrive A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2017 BMW 330i xDrive? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your 330i xDrive — without all the sweat puddles!
