A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C systems. Bring your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG 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.

S55 AMG A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, 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 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 ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C recharges.

Other Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your S55 AMG.

2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my S55 AMG 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 S55 AMG 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 causes A/C system leaks? 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 S55 AMG's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my S55 AMG use gas?  The air conditioning system in your S55 AMG 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 can cause the A/C in my S55 AMG to smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your S55 AMG 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 does my S55 AMG’s A/C only work when the car is moving? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your S55 AMG is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
