How do I make my Alpina B8 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.

What’s making my Alpina B8 Gran Coupe A/C put out warm 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?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Alpina B8 Gran Coupe’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 B8 Gran Coupe use gas?

The air conditioning system in your Alpina B8 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.

My Alpina B8 Gran Coupe’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

If the air conditioning in your Alpina B8 Gran Coupe smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Alpina B8 Gran Coupe’s A/C to work?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Alpina B8 Gran Coupe may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go.

Other BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe 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. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2022 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability.
