Mercedes-Benz 560SEL A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz 560SEL A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1990 Mercedes-Benz A/C systems. Bring your Mercedes-Benz 560SEL to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mercedes-Benz 560SEL A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

560SEL A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Mercedes-Benz’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, 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 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz 560SEL A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz 560SEL A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your 560SEL’s A/C!

Questions About 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL A/C Systems

  • How can I make my 560SEL 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my 560SEL 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 can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your 560SEL’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 running the A/C in my 560SEL use gasoline? Your 560SEL’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does my 560SEL have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 560SEL to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my 560SEL’s A/C only work when the car is moving? Damaged or worn components in your 560SEL’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.
  • Where can I get my 560SEL’s A/C repaired? When you need your 560SEL air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
