How can I make my 840i xDrive Gran Coupe 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 840i xDrive Gran Coupe 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 840i xDrive Gran Coupe’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 840i xDrive Gran Coupe rely on gas?

The air conditioning system in your 840i xDrive Gran Coupe 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.

My 840i xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your 840i xDrive Gran Coupe to have a vinegar-like smell.

What is causing my 840i xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 840i xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

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 840i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s 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 are trained to efficiently perform 2020 BMW 840i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C recharges.

Other BMW 840i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Problems

Hot air is a common BMW 840i xDrive Gran Coupe A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2020 BMW 840i xDrive Gran Coupe? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed.
