A/C Repair Service for Your BMW 535i xDrive

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my BMW 535i xDrive?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with BMW vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2011 BMW. Steer your BMW 535i xDrive to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2011 BMW 535i xDrive A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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 535i xDrive A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for BMW 535i xDrive

Let's say we repair your 2011 BMW 535i xDrive A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the 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 once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2011 BMW 535i xDrive A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting BMW 535i xDrive A/C Problems

Hot air is a common BMW 535i xDrive A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes 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 xDrive? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 xDrive.

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

  • How can I make my 535i 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.
  • Why is my 535i xDrive A/C blowing hot 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system 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 535i xDrive’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my 535i xDrive A/C run on gas? 535i xDrive 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 does it mean if the A/C in my 535i xDrive smells like vinegar? 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 535i xDrive creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my 535i xDrive’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 535i xDrive may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my 535i xDrive’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care inspects and repairs 535i xDrive air conditioning systems. Book an appointment at one of our A/C repair shops near you today.
