A/C Repair Service for Your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know BMW vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2016 BMW A/C systems. Bring your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2016 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe

Let's say we repair your 2016 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system. We will also perform 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. 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 good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2016 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2016 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2016 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Alpina B6 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 do I get hot air from my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’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.
  • Is my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Alpina B6 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.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
