A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz CLS550

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz CLS550 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2018 Mercedes-Benz A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz CLS550

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mercedes-Benz CLS550 A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

CLS550 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mercedes-Benz guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz CLS550 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz CLS550 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550? 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 trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your CLS550’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my CLS550 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 is my CLS550 A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your CLS550’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 CLS550 A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your CLS550 does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my CLS550 smells like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your CLS550 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my CLS550’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 CLS550’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
