Mercedes-Benz S350 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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mercedes-Benz S350?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2013 Mercedes-Benz. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz S350

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2013 Mercedes-Benz S350 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 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 S350 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

S350 A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2013 Mercedes-Benz S350 A/C system. We will also perform 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mercedes-Benz guidelines. 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. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2013 Mercedes-Benz S350 A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz S350 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz S350 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might 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 your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns 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 2013 Mercedes-Benz S350? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 S350 — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2013 Mercedes-Benz S350 A/C Systems

  • How do I make my S350 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.
  • What’s making my S350 A/C put out warm 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? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your S350's A/C system.
  • Does my S350 A/C run on gas? Your S350’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 S350 smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your S350 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my S350’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 S350 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
