A/C Service for BMW 535i GT xDrive

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my BMW 535i GT xDrive?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know BMW vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your BMW 535i GT xDrive

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your BMW 535i GT xDrive A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

535i GT xDrive A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive A/C system. We will also perform 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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive A/C recharges.

Common BMW 535i GT xDrive A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential BMW 535i GT xDrive 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. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2011 BMW 535i GT 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 535i GT xDrive.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive A/C Systems

  • Can I make my 535i GT xDrive 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 535i GT xDrive A/C put out warm 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 535i GT xDrive's A/C system.
  • Does my 535i GT xDrive A/C use gas? Your 535i GT xDrive’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does my 535i GT xDrive have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your 535i GT xDrive smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my 535i GT xDrive’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 535i GT xDrive may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my 535i GT xDrive’s A/C repaired? When you need your 535i GT xDrive air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
