How do I make my E400 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 E400 A/C blowing hot air?

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 E400’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 E400 A/C use gas?

The air conditioning system in your E400 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.

My E400’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

If the air conditioning in your E400 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 won’t my E400’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your E400 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

Mercedes-Benz E400 A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mercedes-Benz E400?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2016 Mercedes-Benz A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz E400

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mercedes-Benz E400 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.

E400 A/C Recharge

While your 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400’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. 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 all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz E400 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz E400 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also 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 may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your E400.
