This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak.

Troubleshooting BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C problem you may 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. 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 2017 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2017 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe use gasoline?  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.
  • Why does my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why won’t my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? 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.
  • Where can I get my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care is ready to inspect and repair your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s air conditioning system. Make an appointment at one of our nearby A/C repair shops today.
