There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat.

We know BMW vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2018 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C systems. Steer your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2018 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe

Let's say we repair your 2018 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 the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2018 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C recharges.

Other BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Problems

Hot air is a common BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2018 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C!

Questions About 2018 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C Systems

  • How 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 is my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C blowing hot air? 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? 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe A/C use 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 can cause the A/C in my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe to smell like vinegar? 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s A/C to work? 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.
