Can I make my 850CSi 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.

What’s making my 850CSi A/C put out warm air?

An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your 850CSi's A/C system.

Does the A/C in my 850CSi use gas?

The air conditioning system in your 850CSi 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 does it mean if the A/C in my 850CSi smells like vinegar?

It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your 850CSi to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my 850CSi’s A/C to work?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 850CSi may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Service for BMW 850CSi

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my BMW 850CSi?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with BMW vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1995 BMW A/C systems. Bring your BMW 850CSi to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1995 BMW 850CSi’s 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 think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your BMW 850CSi A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for BMW 850CSi

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1995 BMW 850CSi, 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 after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1995 BMW 850CSi A/C recharges.

Other BMW 850CSi A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential BMW 850CSi A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also 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 may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1995 BMW 850CSi? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your 850CSi.
