How can I make my Alpina B7L xDrive air conditioner 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.

What’s making my Alpina B7L xDrive A/C put out warm air?

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 can cause an A/C system leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Alpina B7L xDrive’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.

Does the A/C in my Alpina B7L xDrive use gas?

Alpina B7L xDrive air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.

Why does the A/C in my Alpina B7L xDrive 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 B7L xDrive creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

What is causing my Alpina B7L xDrive’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?

Damaged or worn components in your Alpina B7L xDrive’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2011 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Alpina B7L xDrive A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2011 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, 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. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per BMW guidelines. 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 2011 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting BMW Alpina B7L xDrive A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential BMW Alpina B7L xDrive A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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.

Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2011 BMW Alpina B7L 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Alpina B7L xDrive’s A/C!
