How do I make my 560SEC 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 560SEC 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?

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 560SEC’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Is my 560SEC A/C powered by gas?

560SEC 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.

What can cause the A/C in my 560SEC to smell like vinegar?

If the air conditioning in your 560SEC 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 560SEC’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 560SEC may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz 560SEC

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz 560SEC A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC A/C systems. Bring your Mercedes-Benz 560SEC to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mercedes-Benz 560SEC A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

560SEC A/C Recharge

While your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC’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. Then, they’ll use Mercedes-Benz’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, 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 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz 560SEC A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz 560SEC A/C problem you may encounter. 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your 560SEC — without all the sweat puddles!
