How can I make my 440i 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 do I get hot air from my 440i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C?

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.

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

Does running the A/C in my 440i xDrive Gran Coupe use gasoline?

The air conditioning system in your 440i xDrive Gran Coupe 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.

Why does my 440i 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 440i xDrive Gran Coupe creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my 440i xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 440i xDrive Gran Coupe may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

BMW 440i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh.

We know BMW vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2017 BMW 440i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C systems. Bring your BMW 440i xDrive 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 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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 440i xDrive Gran Coupe 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 440i xDrive Gran Coupe

While your 2017 BMW 440i 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 use BMW’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2017 BMW 440i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C recharges.

Other BMW 440i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Problems

Hot air is a common BMW 440i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns 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 2017 BMW 440i 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. 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 xDrive Gran Coupe — without all the sweat puddles!
