How do I make my 430i xDrive Gran Coupe 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 do I get hot air from my 430i xDrive Gran Coupe 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.

How does my A/C system get a 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 430i 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 430i xDrive Gran Coupe rely on gas?

430i xDrive Gran Coupe air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.

What can cause the A/C in my 430i xDrive Gran Coupe to smell like vinegar?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your 430i xDrive Gran Coupe to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my 430i xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

Damaged or worn components in your 430i xDrive Gran Coupe’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat.

We know our way around BMW vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2017 BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2017 BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 430i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

430i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Recharge

While your 2017 BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe’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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per BMW guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2017 BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C recharges.

Other BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2017 BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe? 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 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 430i xDrive Gran Coupe.
