How do I make my CLA45 AMG 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 is my CLA45 AMG A/C blowing hot 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?

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 CLA45 AMG’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does running the A/C in my CLA45 AMG use gasoline?

Your CLA45 AMG’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 the A/C in my CLA45 AMG 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 CLA45 AMG to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my CLA45 AMG’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your CLA45 AMG’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

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 CLA45 AMG A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations. 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. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG? 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 CLA45 AMG — without all the sweat puddles!
