Can I make my 535i air conditioner colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

Why do I get hot air from my 535i A/C?

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.

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 535i’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 535i use gas?

535i 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 535i to smell 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 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my 535i’s A/C to work?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 535i’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A/C Service for BMW 535i

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. 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?" 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 1993 BMW. Bring your BMW 535i to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1993 BMW 535i 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 think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your BMW 535i A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

535i A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1993 BMW 535i 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to BMW's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1993 BMW 535i A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting BMW 535i A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only BMW 535i A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1993 BMW 535i? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your 535i’s A/C!
