How can I make my 428i xDrive 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.

What’s making my 428i xDrive A/C put out warm air?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

What can cause an A/C system leak?

A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your 428i xDrive's A/C system.

Does my 428i xDrive A/C run on gas?

The air conditioning system in your 428i 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.

What does it mean if the A/C in my 428i xDrive smells like vinegar?

It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your 428i xDrive to produce a vinegary odor.

Why won’t my 428i xDrive’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 428i xDrive may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

We’ve got experience with BMW vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2015 BMW. Steer your BMW 428i xDrive to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2015 BMW 428i xDrive 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your BMW 428i xDrive A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for BMW 428i xDrive

While your 2015 BMW 428i xDrive’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use BMW’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2015 BMW 428i xDrive A/C recharges.

Other BMW 428i xDrive A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only BMW 428i xDrive 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2015 BMW 428i 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 428i xDrive.
