How do I make my S55 AMG air conditioning colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

Why do I get hot air from my S55 AMG A/C?

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.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

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 S55 AMG’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does the A/C in my S55 AMG rely on gas?

Your S55 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 S55 AMG 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 S55 AMG to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my S55 AMG’s A/C to work?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your S55 AMG may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2001 Mercedes-Benz A/C systems. Bring your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2001 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

S55 AMG A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2001 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mercedes-Benz guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2001 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. 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. And smelly A/C in a 2001 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG? 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 technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your S55 AMG’s A/C!
