A/C Repair Service for Your BMW ActiveHybrid 3

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 ActiveHybrid 3?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with BMW vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2013 BMW A/C systems. Bring your BMW ActiveHybrid 3 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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 ActiveHybrid 3 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

ActiveHybrid 3 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 3, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per BMW guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 A/C recharges.

Other BMW ActiveHybrid 3 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential BMW ActiveHybrid 3 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 3? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 ActiveHybrid 3 — without all the sweat puddles!

2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my ActiveHybrid 3 air conditioning 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 ActiveHybrid 3 A/C? 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 causes A/C system leaks? 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 ActiveHybrid 3's A/C system.
  • Is my ActiveHybrid 3 A/C powered by gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your ActiveHybrid 3.
  • Why does the A/C in my ActiveHybrid 3 smell 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 ActiveHybrid 3 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my ActiveHybrid 3’s A/C to work? Damaged or worn components in your ActiveHybrid 3’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
