How do I make my Alpina B7 xDrive 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 Alpina B7 xDrive A/C?

An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.

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 B7 xDrive's A/C system.

Does the A/C in my Alpina B7 xDrive use 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 Alpina B7 xDrive.

What does it mean if the A/C in my Alpina B7 xDrive smells 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.

Why won’t my Alpina B7 xDrive’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 B7 xDrive is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

Steer your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2014 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Alpina B7 xDrive A/C Recharge

While your 2014 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to BMW's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2014 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting 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. 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. 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. And smelly A/C in a 2014 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Alpina B7 xDrive.
