How do I make my 650i xDrive air conditioning 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 650i 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.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your 650i xDrive’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does running the A/C in my 650i xDrive use gasoline?

The air conditioning system in your 650i 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.

What can cause the A/C in my 650i xDrive 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 650i xDrive creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my 650i xDrive’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 650i xDrive’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A/C Repair Service for Your BMW 650i xDrive

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. “Who can fix my BMW 650i xDrive A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around BMW vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2014 BMW A/C systems. Bring your BMW 650i xDrive to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2014 BMW 650i xDrive’s 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 650i xDrive A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

650i xDrive A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2014 BMW 650i xDrive, 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. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2014 BMW 650i xDrive A/C recharges.

Common BMW 650i xDrive A/C Problems

Hot air is a common BMW 650i xDrive A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems 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 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 2014 BMW 650i 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your 650i xDrive’s A/C!
