How do I make my 335i xDrive air conditioning 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 is my 335i xDrive A/C blowing hot air?

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 can cause an A/C system leak?

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 335i xDrive’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 335i xDrive rely on gas?

The air conditioning system in your 335i xDrive does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.

My 335i 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 335i xDrive creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

What is causing my 335i xDrive’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 335i xDrive’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A/C Service for BMW 335i xDrive

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my BMW 335i xDrive?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know BMW vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2015 BMW 335i xDrive A/C systems. Steer your BMW 335i xDrive to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2015 BMW 335i xDrive A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your BMW 335i xDrive A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

335i xDrive A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2015 BMW 335i xDrive A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). 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 we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2015 BMW 335i xDrive A/C recharges.

Common BMW 335i xDrive A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential BMW 335i xDrive A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2015 BMW 335i xDrive? 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 335i xDrive.
