Can I make my 440i Gran Coupe 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.

What’s making my 440i Gran Coupe 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 causes A/C system leaks?

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 440i Gran Coupe’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does my 440i Gran Coupe A/C use 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 440i Gran Coupe.

What does it mean if the A/C in my 440i Gran Coupe 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 440i Gran Coupe to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my 440i Gran Coupe’s A/C to work?

A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your 440i Gran Coupe is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

A/C Service for BMW 440i Gran Coupe

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my BMW 440i Gran Coupe?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around BMW vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2017 BMW 440i Gran Coupe A/C systems. Bring your BMW 440i Gran Coupe to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2017 BMW 440i Gran Coupe 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 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 440i Gran Coupe A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

440i Gran Coupe A/C Recharge

While your 2017 BMW 440i 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 use BMW’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2017 BMW 440i Gran Coupe A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting BMW 440i Gran Coupe A/C Problems

Hot air is a common BMW 440i 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 be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2017 BMW 440i Gran Coupe? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your 440i Gran Coupe — without all the sweat puddles!
