Mercedes-Benz SL320 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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SL320 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1995 Mercedes-Benz A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz SL320

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320’s 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." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mercedes-Benz SL320 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.

SL320 A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320 A/C system. We will also perform 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. 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 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mercedes-Benz SL320 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mercedes-Benz SL320 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. 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 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your SL320.

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320 A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my SL320 air conditioner 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.
  • What’s making my SL320 A/C put out warm 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? 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 SL320’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 SL320 rely on gas?  The air conditioning system in your SL320 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 SL320 to smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your SL320 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 vehicle have to be moving for my SL320’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your SL320 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
