A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz S320

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz S320 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1999 Mercedes-Benz S320 A/C systems. Steer your Mercedes-Benz S320 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1999 Mercedes-Benz S320 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mercedes-Benz S320 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

S320 A/C Recharge

While your 1999 Mercedes-Benz S320’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. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1999 Mercedes-Benz S320 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz S320 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz S320 A/C problem you may 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1999 Mercedes-Benz S320? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your S320 — without all the sweat puddles!

1999 Mercedes-Benz S320 A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my S320 air conditioner 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 S320 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 can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your S320’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 S320 A/C run on gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your S320.
  • What can cause the A/C in my S320 to smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your S320 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.
  • What is causing my S320’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your S320 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
