How do I make my CL600 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 CL600 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?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your CL600’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 my CL600 A/C run on gas?

CL600 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.

My CL600’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

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 CL600 to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my CL600’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

Damaged or worn components in your CL600’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.

A/C Service for Mercedes-Benz CL600

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz CL600 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2001 Mercedes-Benz. Bring your Mercedes-Benz CL600 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL600’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercedes-Benz CL600 A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

CL600 A/C Recharge

While your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL600’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). 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 the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL600 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz CL600 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz CL600 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL600? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your CL600 — without all the sweat puddles!
