There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with BMW vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2016 BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2016 BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe 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. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Recharge

While your 2016 BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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 after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2016 BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Problems

Hot air is a common BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2016 BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your 428i xDrive Gran Coupe — without all the sweat puddles!

2016 BMW 428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my 428i 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 is my 428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C blowing hot air? 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 428i xDrive Gran Coupe’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 428i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C run 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 428i xDrive Gran Coupe.
  • Why does my 428i xDrive Gran Coupe have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 428i xDrive Gran Coupe creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my 428i xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C only work when the car is moving? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your 428i xDrive Gran Coupe is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
