BMW 550i GT xDrive A/C Repair

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 it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my BMW 550i GT xDrive?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with BMW vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2010 BMW A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your BMW 550i GT xDrive

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2010 BMW 550i GT xDrive A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 550i GT xDrive A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your 550i GT xDrive

While your 2010 BMW 550i GT xDrive’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use BMW’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2010 BMW 550i GT xDrive A/C recharges.

Other BMW 550i GT xDrive A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only BMW 550i GT xDrive A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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 2010 BMW 550i GT xDrive? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your 550i GT xDrive — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 2010 BMW 550i GT xDrive A/C Systems

  • Can I make my 550i GT xDrive 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 550i GT xDrive 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.
  • 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 550i GT xDrive’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 550i GT xDrive use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your 550i GT xDrive 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 550i GT xDrive 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 550i GT xDrive creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my 550i GT 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 550i GT xDrive may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my 550i GT xDrive’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing 550i GT xDrive air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
