How can I make my SL55 AMG 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.

Why is my SL55 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.

What can cause an A/C system leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your SL55 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 my SL55 AMG A/C run on gas?

The air conditioning system in your SL55 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 does it mean if the A/C in my SL55 AMG smells like vinegar?

If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your SL55 AMG creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my SL55 AMG’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 SL55 AMG is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

A/C Service for Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG 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 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 SL55 AMG A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

SL55 AMG A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG 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. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mercedes-Benz guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG A/C recharges.

Other Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include 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 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your SL55 AMG.
