A/C Service for Mercedes-Benz 190E

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz 190E A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1988 Mercedes-Benz A/C systems. Steer your Mercedes-Benz 190E to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E 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 Mercedes-Benz 190E A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Mercedes-Benz 190E

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E, 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 Mercedes-Benz guidelines. 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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz 190E A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz 190E A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your 190E — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E A/C Systems

  • How do I make my 190E 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 190E 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 can cause an A/C system leak? 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 190E's A/C system.
  • Does the A/C in my 190E rely on gas? 190E 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 190E 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 190E to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my 190E’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 190E’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
