A/C Service for BMW Alpina B7 xDrive

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my BMW Alpina B7 xDrive?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with BMW vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Alpina B7 xDrive A/C Recharge

While your 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use BMW’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive A/C recharges.

Other BMW Alpina B7 xDrive A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential BMW Alpina B7 xDrive A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Alpina B7 xDrive.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Alpina B7 xDrive air conditioning 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 B7 xDrive 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? 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 B7 xDrive’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Alpina B7 xDrive A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Alpina B7 xDrive 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 B7 xDrive to smell like vinegar? 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 B7 xDrive creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Alpina B7 xDrive’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Alpina B7 xDrive’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
