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?

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?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your S55 AMG’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 the A/C in my S55 AMG use 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.

My S55 AMG’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your S55 AMG to have a vinegar-like smell.

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.

We’ve got experience with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2003 Mercedes-Benz. Steer your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2003 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG 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. 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 detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your S55 AMG

While your 2003 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2003 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. 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. 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2003 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your S55 AMG — without all the sweat puddles!
