A/C Repair Service for Your Mercedes-Benz SL450

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SL450 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2017 Mercedes-Benz A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz SL450

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 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 any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called 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 SL450 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.

SL450 A/C Recharge

While your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450’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. Then, they’ll use Mercedes-Benz’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 A/C recharges.

Common Mercedes-Benz SL450 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mercedes-Benz SL450 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450? 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 SL450 — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my SL450 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.
  • What’s making my SL450 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 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 SL450's A/C system.
  • Does my SL450 A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your SL450 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 does it mean if the A/C in my SL450 smells like vinegar? 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 SL450 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my SL450’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your SL450 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
